Villagers
The Irish indie folk band, fronted by Conor O’Brien, have been compared to Bright Eyes and even U2: with O’Brien’s carefully crafted indie-folk being underpinned by an eerie sense of disquiet.
Their debut album ‘Becoming a Jackal’ was released in 2010 and was shortlisted for both the Mercury Prize and the Choice Music Prize. Their follow-up album, {Awayland}, was released this year to critical acclaim.
‘A must-see for those who dig ragged pop, eerie folk and heartfelt, emotional songs and sounds’
