Mullan,Lotte Love'S Bonfire CD

Recorded with Band of Horses in their Nashville studio, 'Love's Bonfire' is a gritty blend of alt-country and British Indie. Mullan has a darker take on Country music than most Nashville inspired UK acts, with a storytelling style that's more Willie Nelson than Dolly Parton. 'Love's Bonfire' explores "the shadow side of love" says Mullan and is a decidedly bolder step than 2012's Plain Jane, the debut that Mullan serviced to the press herself receiving a significant level of critical acclaim. She turned down a major label deal with Warner's and instead set up her own label, Raindog Records, with funds from a deal with Elton John's Rocket Pictures who optioned the rights to a blog she was writing about her misadventures in the music business. Mullan went to Nashville armed with songs and hoped recording with "a hairy rock band" band would help her "paint with bolder colors and avoid the usual singer/songwriter sound". She found her obsession with Country music being met with the American Rockers love of the Smiths which resulted in a sound she describes as "a Trans-Atlantic mash-up".
