Daniel O’Sullivan will release his second album under the Mothlite moniker on May 14th 2012 through Kscope. ‘Dark Age’ is the follow-up to 2008’s ‘The Flax Of Reverie’.
Having spent a lot of time recently working as a collaborator with Æthenor, Miracle and Grumbling Fur as well as his much acclaimed work as part of Ulver, O’Sullivan felt it was time to return to Mothlite so as to work on something unequivocally personal:
“All the other things are collaborations and there’s a communal interest, but with Mothlite the content is quite personal and to do with me. It’s quite easy to neglect, particularly when you’re in a bit of a shit storm as I was the past couple of years.”
You can listen and download the album track ‘Zebras’ for free below:
The album has allowed O’Sullivan to break free from the confines of genre, taking influence from the likes of Tears For Fears and Kate Bush from his parents’ record collection through the industrial and gothic textures of DAF, The Cure, Coil and Dead Can Dance to the hardcore punk of his own personal roots.
The album will be showcased by O’Sullivan at London’s Tabernacle with North Atlantic Oscillation on May 2nd 2012.
