Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Casual Dots are Christina Billotte (Slant 6, Quix*o*tic), Kathi Wilcox (Bikini Kill, Frumpies), and Steve Dore (Deep Lust), all with a shared history in the underground music scenes of Washington DC and Olympia, WA. Their minimalist sound, anchored by a propulsive backbeat and weaving melodic interplay between the guitars, provides a sonic platform for Christina's cool and distinctive vocal style. The result is a raw pop sound with a uniquely angular and lean sensibility.

5.0 out of 5 stars casual but great, March 17, 2004

By	THELarus (SF Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews

after hearing only "Clocks" i bought this album, and i'm glad i did. for the first few listens, "Clocks" remained my favorite song, but then i listened a little more closely to the other songs. Now i basically just listen to the CD from start to finish. and then from the start again. perfect for indie rock fans. if you're hooked on the pop song structure, then this will be new to you and you might not like it. but if you have diverse music tastes, you'll love this CD for sure. i've never heard anything by Slant 6, and only one song by Quixotic, but i like the Casual Dots anyways. They kind of remind me of Sleater-Kinney or Cadallca with less rock and more indie-ness vibes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, buy it!, February 22, 2004

I purchased this album already being a fan of Slant 6 and Quixotic. I was expecting spaced out tinny punk rock, but instead was blown away with strong guitar backed with unusual drum beats. There also is a sound that is somehow a cross between a lullaby and surf guitar... This is by far my most favorite album involving Christina Billotte(her voice is beautiful). I can't stop listening to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars there should be more from Casual Dots, June 16, 2008

catchy stuff. There's about 4 on here that are some of my favorite songs of all time. I love Hooded and She's the Real Thing. Buy this record if you are into punk rock, girl groups, instrumentals, et al.
