New Music | Mothlite Not being of the most stable disposition, I would usually steer clear of music that places me on the edge of a panic attack but Mothlite's music is so immediately arresting and beautiful that it's well worth the risk. In fact, I would go as far as to say that I'd happily have the panic attack, figuratively curled up under the bracken on a damp forest floor, only to emerge a stronger and more attuned individual, probably some kind of druid. Just saying. Comprised of Daniel O'Sullivan (multi-instrument [...]

This week, we've got two very different interpretations of pop from two very different locales. New York City's Mirror Mirror bring a cosmic edge to the ambiance of 60s songwriting with their debut album, The Society for the Advancement of Inflammatory Consciousness . And we also try to fit in as many tracks as possible from Portugal. The Man's new LP, Censored Colors . The Alaska band manages to blend glam and progressive rock elements into a dynamic and well-produced record. We've also got new music from Carlon, Mothlite, the Near Year, [...]
We at the Needle Drop have been known to enjoy the occasional Daniel O'Sullivan side project, and Mothlite is no exception. As it is to be expected, the music is darker than a muddy river and twice as deep. With Antti Uusimaki and a team of collaborators, O'Sullivan embraces his usual zeuhl overtones with haunting chants, lush string sections, and suspenseful chord progressions. The band is streaming two tracks from their new album on their MySpace , and the LP-- the Flax of Reverie --is out now on Southern Records [...]
On their debut album The Flax Of Reverie , Mothlite reaches for the grandiose heights of the foggy English countryside and do a pretty good job of hiding amongst the Pennines. Anyhow, Mothlite is a basically the duo of London-based instrumentalist Daniel O'Sullivan and Finnish engineer Antti Uusimaki. Their music is (from the get go) a striking balance of point and counterpoint. It is full of cinematic and atmospheric soundscapes and song fragments that soar above the clouds only to drastically drop into the darkest of dark caves you could possibly find. [...]
following on from the review what i wrote regarding the new mothlite record in which i described it as "aurally seducing me to a gibbering moist wreck" (no hyperbole here you understand) i had a brief opportunity to gibber moistly in the direction of daniel o'sullivan, one half of the mothlite beast. here be the words: who are [...]
I'll admit I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Mothlite and their debut The Flax of Reverie . It seemed like an album that could be almost too grandiose and far reaching for its own good. And a lot of times there is nothing worse than an album that reaches for the sky but inevitably falls flat on its face…I mean if albums had faces that is. However from the opening moments of the track "Riverside" and the sinister sound of fluttering guitar notes gently [...]
Ever had trouble deciding whether to listen to Opeth or Sigur Ros!? Well fret no more, as Mothlite generate ambient, complex and powerfully haunting, metal inspired melodies. Lauren Down reviews.
where to start? well not at the picture with the flat cap and whippet that makes them look like a pete and dud sketch. well actually maybe. there is something quintessentially english about mothlite. english like peter cook. or lewis carroll. or pink floyd. the website says: with one eye reflecting the dark of the underground and the [...]
