"The Stan Brakhage film Mothlight comprised insects, leaves and other natural detritus fixed directly onto celluloid, creating what Brakhage called 'found foliage'. With their debut album, The Flax Of Reverie, Mothlite reflect both the form and process of Record Label: Southern Style: Independent

Daniel O’Sullivan' second album under the Mothlite name is out very soon! ‘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 Athenor, 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. 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 Jona Record Label: K-Scope Style: Progressive Rock
