DESCRIPTION:
Daniel O'Sullivan and Knut Jonas Sellevold perform Milk, taken from Mothlite's new album 'Dark Age', OUT NOW on 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.

"This is prevalent in the lyrical content, which denotes a catharsis throughout a period of hysteria and emotional turmoil". He describes 'Dark Age' as "Dark megalomania, contradictions and paradoxes, and general bleakness", yet rarely does such subject matter get delivered with the soaring pop aplomb as on the album's twelve tracks, flitting from sparkle and rumble of 'The Blood' to the epic washes of 'The Underneath' and beyond.

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. Indeed, O'Sullivan's use of contradiction within the style of the record is a very deliberate choice: "If it was too bleak, with melancholy overriding the whole thing, then I'd counteract it with a huge chorus or huge hook" O'Sullivan's chief collaborator in Mothlite is Norwegian producer Knut Jonas Sellevold (Elektrofant, King Knut). Arranger, composer and beat-maker of the highest order.
