Subconsciousology is a full reworking of Dot Allison’s 2023’s Consciousology, by producer Lomond Campbell, who, as the title suggests, has made it deeper, darker and dancier.

Whereas the original album was all ornate avant-garde folk and psychedelic explorations, this new take is as hard-hitting as it is heavenly, as beat-driven as it is beautiful, and crucially it finds Dot re-embracing the electronic music with which she first made her name in One Dove.

“I love that Lomond has brought a rich musicality and has created wild universes around the elements he has chosen to retain in the various songs,” adds Dot. “It reminds me of working with Andrew Weatherall in a way, where the mixes were bold and reinventive departures.

“The whole concept of the original record is about interconnectivity and the electromagnetic aspects to consciousness, so the remixed version is like a rainbow diffracted from a beam of light.”

Everything in this pot of gold sounds and feels at once familiar but different – from the chugging electro of ‘Unchanged’ and ‘Bleached By The Sun’, to the almost absurd, Aphex Twin-like shock of ‘220Hz’ and the closer ‘Weeping Roses’, which is twisted from a Tim Hardin-style lament into the most unlikely acid house banger.

“Dot has a real knack for creating striking melodies that hit quickly and stay with you,” says Lomond. “I tried to build different chord structures around those vocal lines, re-harmonising to take it to darker places.”
