6/25/10

Right here you can find a full album stream of "Becoming a Jackal" from the Irish band Villagers. They are dreamy and a little dark and lush....I love what they do with piano parts, treating them like a jazzy spice. It's a very full sound. Frontman Conor O'Brien (yes, Conor not Conan) has the kind of voice you might find a theatre stage rather than a rock band, and it makes for a vibe/sound that is pretty unique. Soundtrack-for-life-esque, as if I could envision the song "Set the Tigers Free" playing as I nonchalantly drive down the highway in the rain. Or something. Anyway, I like this album today, it is getting me out of my head.
