Fairy wings and crop tops. Never say never, but I can’t see it happening, we’ll face our public adorned in our public wears.

There seems to be something English about the album - themes, look (I’m thinking of the Pete & Dud style photo), influences. Was this deliberate?

No. But I am English.

Is Mothlite an ongoing concern or a one-off project?

Absolutely ongoing. The new album is being assembled at the moment.

You appear to work constantly and collaborate frequently. Do you ever get sick of music and feel like drooling in front of the Big Brother highlights on E4 instead?

I don’t find it hard to avoid such poisons. Big Brother is the jewel in the crown of the conquering child. If there were an extra episode of Seinfeld for every season of Big Brother the world would be a much brighter place.

I saw you described once as “Daniel O’Sullivan, shadowy iconoclast”. It sounds to me like some 40’s pulp comicbook character. Apart from being something interesting to put on your business card, does this mean anything? And how does one respond to it?

I suppose it means someone is being kind about me and I respond with thanks.
