villagers is the brainchild of conor j o'brien, who has already toured ireland, the uk and us and opened for neil young, wild beasts and cass mccombs amongst others. '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. on domino.
