a0133511229_16

Jon Dots is the solo music-making moniker of Dublin-based writer and musician Darragh McCabe. Also drummer with one of the city’s most compelling alt-punk bands, three-piece Alien She, McCabe has honed brilliantly imaginative, texture-warping brand of indie-pop in the form of his debut EP Impossibly. A four-track release, it marries exquisite, harmony-laden instrumentation and occasional bursts of orchestration with delicately-worded tales that hit home via McCabe’s clear knack for composition in the vein of the likes of Ed Harcourt, Rufus Wainright, Dirty Projectors, Tune-Yards and early Of Montreal.
