Career


O'Sullivan has collaborated with a number of artists including Stephen O'Malley (also a member of Æthenor), Alexander Tucker, Kristoffer Rygg[1] (Ulver), Jarboe[2] and David Tibet.[3][4]

He has been a live member of Sunn O))) and joined cult Norwegian band Ulver in 2010, as announced by the band on the official Ulver website, "Lastly we would like to welcome Daniel O'Sullivan into the pack. We all know that God exists as three persons, but now is the dawn of the triangular pyramid."[5] O'Sullivan has been performing live with Ulver since the band's first performance in fifteen years at the Norwegian Festival of Literature 2009 in Lillehammer.[6]

In 2011, O'Sullivan released an EP with his new band Miracle, a synth-pop duo also featuring Steve Moore from Zombi.[7] Their debut full-length album, Mercury, was released in October 2013. Their second album The Strife of Love in a Dream will be released in February 2018.[8]

Another new project, this time with regular collaborator Alexander Tucker, has emerged with the name Grumbling Fur. The debut album Furrier also features Jussi Lehtisalo from Finnish bands Circle and Pharaoh Overlord and David Smith from Guapo. Following the session EP Alice, the duo released their second album Glynnaestra on the Chicago-based label Thrill Jockey. It was ranked No. 1 album of 2013 by The Quietus and featured in the Top 50 of several magazines including Wire and Fact. Grumbling Fur released their third album, Preternaturals, on The Quietus's Phonographic Corporation imprint in August 2014. Their fourth album, Furfour, was released in 2016 on Thrill Jockey.[9] Under the name Grumbling Fur Time Machine Orchestra, the duo has also released two collaborative recordings with Charlemagne Palestine in 2015 and 2017, both being limited vinyl editions.[10]

O'Sullivan released a solo album titled VELD in June 2017 on O Genesis Recordings. It was written and recorded between 2010 and 2016.[11]
