Neosupervital (aka multi-instrumentalist and producer Tim O’Donovan) is back with a brand new single off his highly anticipated third album ‘Transporter’.
‘Factory Presets’, which is due for release on January 3, bears all the hallmarks of the Neosupervital sound with its hypnotic synths, beats and lyrics.
As well as fronting Neosupervital, Tim also drums for Irish band Bell X1 and was one half of synth duo Buffalo Woman.
The infectious sounds of Neosupervital has seen the act, who has been compared to Beck and Eels, open for acts including The Divine Comedy and Stewart Copeland as well as performing at numerous Irish festivals like Electric Picnic, Body and Soul, Forbidden Fruit and All Together Now.
Neosupervital has released two critically acclaimed albums to date, ‘Neosupervital’ in 2006 and ‘Battery Power’ in 2010.
Speaking about the new single, O’Donovan gave an insight into what it’s all about: “I suppose the overall theme of the song is that you can change destructive patterns of behaviour and thinking if you put your mind to it. It was one of the first songs I wrote for the new album so the lyrics were me noting that it was a new beginning, and not to worry too much about the passing of time. They were me noting that my brain workings had changed somewhat since I last sat down to write a tune, a bit more self-awareness and a lot less ego hopefully.”
He added: “It’s one of the slowest tunes I’ve written. I deliberately brought the pace down a notch or two on this album, and this song in particular, for a more spacious, unhurried feel.”
Neosupervital is set to go on a nationwide tour in 2025 with details to be announced early next year.
