Declan O’Donovan In Concert

Friday, October 6, 2023 at 9:00 pmYukon Theatre

A solo performance by Declan O'Donovan at the Yukon Theatre. Declan will perform songs on acoustic piano and guitar from his new LP Amok and his previous two recordings.

Within the earthy, baroque psychedelia of his 3rd album, Amok, Declan O’Donovan meditates on losing track of time. It’s a phenomenon we’re all intimately familiar with—”a
pedestrian and profound thing to do,” as the Yukon songwriter puts it. Amok is hardly a linear narrative, though, with a beginning, middle, and end; the album and the characters who populate it twist and pull time, fall out of it and into it, find themselves transformed by it. Songs go off the rails and expand themselves defiantly as O’Donovan inhabits their narrators—a hospital patient; a character in an Edgar Allen Poe story; people trapped on sinking ships or floating in space with satellites and dark matter.

'I’ve found it difficult to tear myself away from this record since first hearing it ...every song on the album is unforgettable.’
– Great Dark Wonder
