Daniel O’Sullivan’s mixtape for Concrete Islands allows a further glimpse into the displaced-in-time otherly pop music of his solo musical universe

Daniel O’Sullivan has delivered “a dolly mixture of jewel encrusted arrangements” for your listening pleasure. So put on a pair of headphones, climb into a sensory deprivation tank and shut out this world to experience another.

O’Sullivan’s strange and compelling outsider pop universe, all psychedelic edges and brain burrowing hooks, is beautifully showcased on his latest album Folly, out now on O Genesis Recordings. New single “The Diamond Vehicle” has just been launched and comes packaged in a video directed by Daisy Dickinson.

A warning to the curious: the Ornamentalist tracklist follows, but it may be advisable to leave and return after you’ve listened to the mixtape. Look away now!
