Mothlite - Mathair

Mathair is a 10 vinyl EP from Mothlite, the brainchild of Daniel O'Sullivan (Ulver, Aethenor, Miracle etc), featuring four new tracks plus a remix of Seeing In The Dark, a piece from 2012's Dark Age album. Dark Age, the follow-up to 2008's The Flax Of Reverie, was rated as one of the top 50 albums of 2012 by The Quietus, who described it as, 'a startling, frank examination of the human (and perhaps especially male) condition delivered via synth bombast and towering choruses'. The NME stated; 'listening to 'Dark Age' can feel like sensory immersion... the album transcends genre, yet takes elements from the dark shadows of industrial rock and the glitch of electronica...it's a beguiling affair', while Wire noted that 'O'Sullivan is steadily carving a niche for himself as a highly accomplished avant-pop polymath.'
