About Dora and Jonni

Dora Lachaise became fascinated with Victorian ghost stories and cemeteries after moving next door to Arnos Vale Cemetery in Bristol. From her attic, she overlooked its overgrown grounds, with crumbling headstones, angels and obelisks. “I’m attracted to the mystery of forgotten stories, and things we can’t measure,” says Dora. “It’s that sense of mystery I try to instil in my music too.” 

Jonni Slater paints dark scenes with his warm, husky vocals and vintage keyboards. There’s a distinct cinematic quality that runs like a red thread through all his work. “I often see images like movie scenes in my head when I’m writing,” he says. “I aim to soundtrack the mood and events.” 

Both artists are now based in Glasgow.
