time’s not the villain 
coming up behind you is a marigold sun love if you’re willing take a little more time i smell fire
 it’s coming from the flames that are dancing on my wings i’m a bird on a wire 
killing time fever’s got me shaking 
it rises up like a road to meet me fever’s got me quaking 
like san andreas fault just put a cloth to my brow 
i’ll soar like a phoenix from the ashes put a pretty blanket down 
i’m ready now looking for forgiveness 
looking in every cupboard in every room i’m bearing witness 
to the passing time but the clock is ticking 
like an old man singing at the top of his lungs and the light is flickering 
we’re running out fever’s got me shaking 
it rises up like a road to meet me fever’s got me quaking 
like san andreas fault just put a cloth to my brow 
i’ll soar like a phoenix from the ashes put a pretty blanket down 
i’m ready now everybody’s looking for somebody to blame 
the stages of sadness how many can you name i stopped at anger, never felt the same they say it’ll fade my scars
 my tears will dry and i’ll lie under 
the stars again, not wondering where you are fever’s got me shaking 
it rises up like a road to meet me fever’s got me quaking 
like san andreas fault just put a cloth to my brow
i’ll soar like a phoenix from the ashes put a pretty blanket down 
i’m ready now

about

Produced by fellow GRAMMY-winner Joe Henry (Bonnie Raitt, Rhiannon Giddens) and featuring guest appearances from Allison Russell and Madison Cunningham, Age Of Apathy finds O’Donovan’s gift for poetic imagery and unconventionally alluring melody in full bloom as she confronts the sense-dulling barrage of the digital age. Amid symphonic arrangements that reveal a stunning mastery of her craft, Aoife puts forth a statement of defiance and radical love — one that reaffirms her as one of our most vital songwriters today.

O’Donovan recorded Age Of Apathy through a unique arrangement with Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL, logging daily hours on-site at their studio with GRAMMY-nominated engineer Darren Schneider (Deep Purple, Koryn Hawthorne, Trivium) - who also mixed the album - all the while collaborating entirely remotely with Henry. While her previous albums were composed and recorded in an adrenalized rush between tours, the creation of Age Of Apathy was more deliberate and methodical — a rare silver lining amid the stillness of COVID living.

O’Donovan found the routine freeing. Remote collaborations — particularly with bassist David Piltch and drummer Jay Bellerose — introduced unexpected rhythms and textures into the architecture of the songs, allowing O’Donovan to bend her sound into more expansive shapes. And with the expert guidance of Joe Henry, she was able to develop the dreamy, richly orchestrated — but never overwrought — soundworld that gives Age Of Apathy its distinct and enveloping aesthetic.
