Mo Pop was the second single from Dot Allison's debut solo album, Afterglow. It is my favourite track on a very mellow album which ditches for the main part the dub and dance beats of her previous band One Dove in favour of a more 60s influenced sound.
She has produced a further 2 solo albums. We Are Science which is a much darker affair and very influenced by the electroclash sound which was prevalent at the time. Her last album i can't tell you very much about as I lost interest after downloading the Beneath The Ivy ep and finding it to be quite disappointing.
Of the 3 albums I think that the debut is still the best and well worth the 4 to 5 quid it is being offered for on Amazon used and new.

Loved close your eyes meself, ace tune!
I thumbed past a couple of the singles from the album at home yesterday funnily enough.
Great blog as ever.

I've had the album for years but only uploaded this song after you mentioned it on a Last FM 'shout'. And ever since I've been playing it a lot. I like it when that sort of thing that happens.
I could never listen to her solo stuff without wishing it was as good as One Dove, Dot's good, but they were something else. I think I'll give them a listen right now.
Thanks for the kind words Andrew.
I like that sort of thing too Davy.
Simon. the first solo album may not be as good as Morning Dove White but I think it's worth giving it another try.
