Villagers - Becoming a Jackal

Review by William Grant

O’Brien’s howls and cries throughout are an exorcism of growing pains, and to that end universally resonant and resolutely empathetic.»

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.
