Her most ambitious work to date, 'Domino Girls' combines Matheson's trademark innovative song writing with intricate vocal harmonies, classic acoustic guitar and layers of sumptuous string arrangements. 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 Matheson 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.
Highly recommended - this is polished album with a singer songwriter at the top of her game
