Patsy Matheson: Domino Girls

For Little Piece of England 05 colour by Craig Oddy June 08‘Domino Girls’, the new album from Patsy Matheson, is her best and most ambitious work yet.

Featuring contributions from Belinda O’Hooley (O’Hooley & Tidow, Rachel Unthank & the Winterset, Nic Jones trio)  – vocals, piano, accordion, Heidi Tidow (O’Hooley & Tidow) – vocals, Anna Esslemont (Uiscedwr, Bad Anna) – violin, Sarah Smout (Rosie Doonan & the Snapdragons, Michael Chapman) – cello,  and her long time collaborator Jon Short (double bass), with Will Reddy (drums) and Richard Ferdinando (Crosscut Saw) drums,  there are nine brand new compositions as well as ‘Chasing Rainbows’ – a song given to her by acclaimed songwriter Boo Hewerdine.

The songs cover a range of subjects – from affairs of the heart to computer web cam hacking – each sensitively delivered and intricately layered up with signature Matheson vocal harmonies and acoustic guitar.
