Neil O’Connor AKA Somadrone returns to with his sixth album Wellpark Avenue in November after his collaborative work on the soundtrack for the Irish horror film Without Name with Gavin O’Brien and Music For 18 Machines and last album Oracle.
For the first single from the album, O’Connor is joined by Margie Lewis on ‘The Howling Infinite’. The song has a live band Boards Of Canada feel before diverting into Lewis’ string-assisted psychedelic and synthesizer passages. ‘The Howling Infinite’ is a cozy dreamspace to occupy.
Buy the song on iTunes.
The song also features on my regular-updated new Irish music playlist:
