Villagers are back with serious builder called “The Waves”.  Conor O’Brien’s lyrics still stand at the forefront of the track as usual but the rest of the track feels like Villagers are evolving into a full band instead of O’Brien’s latest venture.  ”The Waves” is off the upcoming album {Awayland} due out January 14th via Domino.  Head HERE to pre-order.

Villager – “The Waves”

Fav Tracks

Charlotte Gainsbourg and Villagers will be releasing a 7″ split on Record Store day this April 16th.  ”Memoir” is the result of Gainsbourg approaching Villagers’s leader Conor O’Brien to write a song for her.  The track was written by O’Brien during tour last fall.

Though “Memoir” may get the lead, Villagers’ “Set The Tigers Free” is just as excellent a track.  Give a listen below.
