Back in 2010 it didn't take us very long until we fell in love with Conor O'Briens heartfelt debut 'Becoming A Jackal'. Fast forward to 2018, O'Brien's songwriting hasn't lost any of its magic spell. In the vast ocean of songwriters, Conor O'Brien aka Villagers has been been swimming freely and ambitiously in his eclectic sonic realm while making four studio albums over the course of the past eight years.
It's been a turbulent and confusing year in many ways. But there's one thing the second pandemic year in a row hasn't been lacking of: plenty of good music to get us through these months of uncertainty between hope and despair. And for those of you who might have lost track in the daily storm of new releases we got you covered once again with a mighty list that includes those tracks that we'll connect with 2021 forever
As this decade is approaching its end it is time for a little reflection on all the great music we experienced over the course of it. Of course, this is NOT an ultimate and universal Top 100 list. It simply can't be but these are the songs you should definitely give a spin before the decade is over. The next 25 tracks in our list include Daughter, Kendrick Lamar, Editors, Blood Orange, Metronomy and more.
Irish singer songwriter Conor O’ Brien aka VILLAGERS gets quite literal in his new music video Earthly Pleasure. And it’s a very surreal experience. Starting with reduced images of a man sitting on a toilet we switch over to a battleground of the 19th century, a bath tube and … well, space. But somehow it all goes quite well together. The track is taken from {Awayland}, the new VILLAGERS album which was released back in January. Watch the new clip right here.
