I have posted about Villagers a few times but just showing you live versions of “Becoming A Jackal”. I figured it was about time that you have heard the studio version. It is one of my most played songs at the moment, and a early contender for one of my favorite songs of the entire year.
I got a lot of work to do for my final tomorrow so I don’t have time for a big post. However, words can’t really do this song justice:
[mp3]: Villagers – Becoming A Jackal
It comes off Villagers debut album of the same name, Becoming A Jackal, out June 8th via Domino. Pre-order it from insound via Vinyl or CD. Trust me, it will be worth your hard earned $$. You can also snag the 7″ single version of the song which comes with the b-side “Twenty-Seven Strangers”.

These guys are amazing, had the pleasure of seeing them live a couple of times. Have yet to see someone match Conor O’Brien for stage presence!
You should check out the lead singer’s previous band The Immediate (a favourite of most irish bloggers)
