But more significantly to 'Villagers'
I think I mentioned them in my top 10 songs for a week weeks ago. Either way they are simply amazing. Its like Pink Floyd but acoustic and without all the crazy effects.
The album 'Becoming A Jackal' is pure magic. Magnificent lyrics, music and the music videos are creepy. What more could I want in a band. You see that's the thing about Villagers: the album is recorded by Conor O'Brien alone BUT they're still a band! Give them a listen and I'm sure you'll agree, they most certainly are not singer-songwriter. Another interesting comparison my friend gave was 'Coldplay but with spirit and they're interesting' sums it up really.
Purely addictive stuff. Can't wait to get myself a concert ticket its bound to be amazing. Serious 'watch this space' and by 'this space' I mean the force Villagers are sure to become. I called it people.
The best thing about all this is that Conor O'Brien himself confessed that the album could have been better...which when you consider it was nominated for a Mercury Award and hit the top ten in many album charts is pretty amazing!
