about

Nothing happens halfway on DOT’s “Strange Glance.” When Keith Hanlon wants your attention, his music is louder than a siren; when he wants you to listen closely, it becomes microscopic; when he wants to scare you, it sounds like stabbing knives; when he wants you to meditate, it’s a sacred space that shuts out all distraction. There’s nuance everywhere on “Strange Glance”; Hanlon knows he can thread the narrowest needle to mine the gaps between moods. But DOT is foremost about force: the force of commitment to the sound happening right before your ears.

-Marc Masters

DOT is the ambient/drone entity of producer/engineer Keith Hanlon (The Black Swans, Bloodthirsty Virgins). Following up his 2015 release, One and The Same (Scioto Records) took some time, as he didn’t want to repeat the same methods used on his debut. The pursuit of new inspiration led to a re-evaluation of his music in general. “I used analog tape loops on my first album. I wanted to respond to the degradation of sound, and also to use field recordings to refer to a specific time and space. There needed to be a point to the madness, if only for my own sanity.”
