DoT
Mizz Teviak

Genre: Lo-Fi Folk, Singer-Songwriter
Label: Old Ugly Recording Co.

Debut album of 20 years old folk troubadour Phil Holtby from Canada. Great shaky lo-fi folk, sometimes in duet with a female voice. Last song is a funny little entertaining piece on some old vintage organ (maybe a Wurlitzer or Böhm).
Great found and the best soundtrack for sitting in the backyard in the evening!

Christened Phil Holtby, DoT is the weird-folk appellation of the stalky stoic troubadour, master of his own tiny dim lit universe of song. With the warmth of a quiet bedroom, DoT's songs emerge from out of a single point of light just behind your ears and just beyond your imagination, lulling plants, animals, and all other misanthropes into a deep delighted calm. It is the labour of Holtby's full-bodied croak coupled with such yarns as "it's a frightening thing, just you and just night" that germinate and sprout around the listener, each song it's own network of vines, sewing, growing, and lassoing with each spin. At only 20, Mizz Teviak is DoT's debut folk record. Do not underestimate this young man's grit.
