Little Dots release “A Clear Running Stream”

Little Dots was born when guitarist Pablo Casella and multi-instrumentalist Tom Callens, deeply impressed by her angelic voice, decided to write songs for Sophia. For Pablo and Tom, who are both active in the music scene for quite some time (they both play with Lady Linn), Sophia came out of the blue. Gradually it became a passionate exchange among three people with a common love for honest, acoustic songs. It was decided to chase dreams and plans were forged to record an album, with the addition of five gracious musicians from the Belgian scene.

The album was recorded in Ghent, Belgium at studio Boma by Frederik Segers (Members of Marvelas, Stadt, Sioen). The music is described as being alternative pop, with the use of acoustic string and horn instruments, synth-bass, drums and percussion. Influences from Feist, The Beatles and Portishead, among others.

Kurt Overbergh – Artistic Director Ancienne Belgique, Brussels: “Little Dots. One can hardly think of a humbler name. But modesty is a gracious feat. And a phrase lacking a full stop is no phrase. The music of Little Dots enters gently but intoxicates. Key is the voice of Sophia Ammann evoking the spirit of Leslie Feist. The arrangements are refined. There's no sound that is superfluous."
