VILLAGERS
Villagers are currently working on their second album for release in 2012. From the very first seconds of Becoming a Jackal , he's got you. A faint drone of organ, joined by eerie strings and a cascade of piano that collectively casts a Hitchcock movie shadow before a hushed voice asks, “Have you got just a minute? / Are you easily led? / Let me show the backroom / Where I saw the dead / Dancing like children on a midsummer morn / And they asked me to join” – and then the music obliges by with a similar spectral sweep. ‘I Saw the Dead' is not just the album intro of 2010 but also a magnificent intro to the vivid narratives, gripping poetry and melodic depth of Conor J. O'Brien – or as he likes to call himself and his cohorts, Villagers. Conor O'Brien was awarded an Ivor Novello for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for "Becoming a Jackal" Check out VILLAGERS solo performance of "Becoming A Jackal" on the new series of LATER with JOOLS HOLLAND Contact Management
