Villagers - Becoming A Jackal

•    Villagers is the brainchild of Conor J. O’Brien. ‘Becoming A Jackal’ introduces us to Villagers’ vivid narratives, gripping poetry and melodic depth. Conor J. O’Brien’s clear and distinctive voice weaves a remarkable spell, delivering an album of rare, alarming beauty. From restrained to unleashed, from a whisper to a literal howl, ‘Becoming A Jackal’ mutates, intrigues and beguiles in equal measure.

•    The campaign got off to an amazing start with a mesmerising ‘Later’ performance when Conor blew the other more seasoned performers off the stage with quietly intense and powerful renditions of ‘Becoming A Jackal’ and ‘The Meaning Of The Ritual’.

•    After support slots with Neil Young, Tracy Chapman, Cass McCombs and Wild Beasts, Villagers will be heading out on a series of UK dates in April and May. Villagers will be supporting Field Music at the forthcoming Meltdown and Noah & The Whale at Somerset House. He’ll also be appearing at these festivals, Great Escape, Dot To Dot, Glastonbury, Oxegen and Latitude, amongst others.

•    CD comes with an O-Card and the LP is double vinyl with an etched third side and MP3 codes.
