Cora Bissett

Share 

Cora is one of our favourite singers. She can be heard on two Swimmer One tracks - How Could Something Like That Be Love (we have recorded two versions, one with Cora doing backing vocals and one with her doing the lead vocal) and our cover of Cloudbusting. We first met Cora when she was fronting a fantastic Scottish band called Swelling Meg, whose songs sounded like a cross between Throwing Muses and Eastern European gypsy music. More recently she’s focused on acting (Scottish theatre mainly, including The Wolves and the Walls by the National Theatre of Scotland and various shows at the Arches, the Royal Lyceum Theatre and elsewhere,, but TV and film too, including an award-winning Glasgow-set drama called High Times). This year she directed her own show at the Arches in Glasgow.

During this time we have been pestering her to keep singing, because she sings like no one else. So we’re thrilled that she has recently started writing songs again. You can hear some of them on her MySpace page. The plan is for us to produce, remix or generally help out on some of them at some point soon. Meanwhile, go have a listen, because she’s brilliant.
