I’ve been waiting for this one …. and it’s simply beautiful. One of my favourite songwriters and lyricists, Conor O’Brien, returns as Villagers … and this album is enchanting and absorbing. ‘we keep passing the blame - it’s a funny old game. Everyone is going insane, and we’re playing at God cause he’s gone for a walk… while nobody listens and everyone talks’ #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinyljunkie #vinyladdict #vinylgeek #vinyligclub #vinylrecords #vinylmeplease #nowspinning #nowplaying #instavinyl #igvinylclub #cratedigger #villagers #conorobrien #vinyloftheday #recordcollector #recordcollection #onmyturntable #albumart #albumoftheday #vinylobsessed #musicians #dustyfingers #igvinylcommunity #vinylrelease

Exploring ‘That Golden Time’: An Interview with Conor O’Brien of Villagers In Episode #177 of The XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar speaks to award-winning Dublin singer-songwriter-instrumentalist-dramatist Conor O’Brien of Villagers about the new album That Golden Time. The exquisite new album unfurls Conor O’Brien’s trademark melodic flair, his gift for simultaneously vivid and subtle arrangements and lyrics that couch his hopes, fears and dreams in richly absorbing poetry. That Golden Time takes its name from the fifth track, which doubles as the album’s lead single. In this interview, Conor discusses the writing and recording of That Golden Time. He also looks back at Villagers previous albums, winning an Ivor Novello award, favourite songs and lots more.

Villagers / The Art Of Pretending To Swim (2018); For me, Conor O'Brien is one of the best songwriters of our time. On his 2018 album it is the arrangements and for the first time you can hear and be amazed by the samples that O'Brien dresses around his melodies that make “The Art Of Pretending To Swim” something special in the Villagers oeuvre. #Villagers #ConorOBrien #Folk #Folkrock #Folkpop #songwriter #singer #music #musiclover #musiclovers #vinylcollection #vinyl #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #vinyljunkie #vinylfreak #vinylforever #RockNBlog

Proud to share a few stills from the latest music video I had the pleasure to direct. It's for @wearevillagers latest track called "That Golden Time" (link in bio). A really beautiful and poignant piece of music. Lead singer Conor O'Brien created a fantastic brief, that included amongst other things, a visual treatment outlining the feel of the video and the idea of "algorithm blues", one of the lines from the track. The video was produced by @richardbarnetttrunk with @trunklayla doing some amazing artwork for it as well.

Where Have You Been All My Life?, A day’s recordings at RAK Studios, London, released on 8th January 2016. A wonderful collection of songs that boils down three albums of Villagers’ songwriting into one recording session. All of these tracks are first or second takes, presented as played live with no overdubs. A brilliant showcase of Conor O’Brien’s work. #villagers #villagersvinyl #coloredvinyl #fortheloveofvinyl #myrecordcollection #vinylrecord #collectingvinyl #vinyl4life #nowplaying #conorobrien #colouredvinylclub

This post is in memory of Inchy’s namesake: Conor O’Brien, Lord Inchiquin, born in July 1943 and sadly died in June 2023. A lot of people ask me where Inchy’s name came from. He was named after Lord Inchiquin who was a family relative and was visiting our house at the time that Inchy was born and rescued. It seemed a little sycophantic at the time and a very grand name to give to a little baby deer who was so tiny he could squeeze through the bars of a child’s playpen. I remember insisting that the name be shortened to ‘Inchy’ while he was a baby. However, as Inchy grew up and I learnt more about the inspirational person behind his name choice, I realised that Inchy couldn’t have been named after a nicer, more extraordinary man. Conor had several deeply historic Irish titles. He was the 18th Baron Inchiquin, Prince of Thomond and the 10th baronet of Lemeneagh. He was also chief of the O’Brien clan (estimated at 750,000 people worldwide). The history of his titles is fascinating (the Inchiquin title was granted to his ancestor when King Henry VIII was named King of Ireland and insisted all Irish nobility surrender their native titles in exchange for titles granted from the English crown). This seems a little odd when you learn that Conor (and his ancestor at the time) was the direct descendant of Brian Boru, High King of Ireland in the 11th century. So one King had to surrender the title to another. Quite apart from the amazing history of the name, Conor was a kind and humble man who played a great part in uniting his community, the O’Briens across the world and he wrote me a lovely letter when I once sent him a photo album of Inchy to peruse while in hospital. He clearly deserved to have a deer named after him and now we can only hope that Inchy continues to live up to the great name. It’s no coincidence that some family members I know refer to Inchy as ‘Little Lord Inchiquin.’ May the late Lord Inchiquin rest in peace, never forgotten. #inchiquin #dromoland #countyclare #conorobrien #obrien #irish #ireland #history #restinpeace #deer #wildlife #memory #namesake #ancestor #dromolandcastle #brianboru

Villagers - Fever Dreams (Dinked Edition) Fifth studio album from one of my favorite artist, Dublin’s finest @wearevillagers Every Villagers album is a unique experience and in this one, Conor O’Brien takes us in his most experimental journey so far, a psychedelic mixture of melodies, strings, textures and his characteristic flavor of folk which makes it different yet unmistakably Conor. This @dinkededition is a thing of beauty with it’s blue vinyl, a bonus flexi 7” and a numbered (1,000) signed Obi-strip. #Villagers #wearevillagers #FeverDreams #ConorOBrien #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinyljunkie #recordcollector #nowspinning #onmyturntable #cgvinylnights

🐾💔 Dog of the day 💔🐾 A long time ago I saw Conor O’Brien from @wearevillagers play @northcotesocialclub and his performance of his song ‘Pieces’ from ‘Becoming a Jackal’ remains the single saddest most heartrending and emotional performances of all time. I have never gotten over the grief and longing in his voice and I’ve linked to the song in my bio if you want to listen and hurt yourself too 🐾💔 Today I met this little chap howling outside @trentham.general like he had lost everything dear to him in the world 💔🐾 This dog’s cries were sadder than Conor singing about unrequited love 🐾💔 Also his owner was gone for all of five minutes grabbing a flat white so really, he could have cheered up a wee bit 💔🐾 #dogoftheday #howling #sad #grief #villagers #pieces #ivebeeninpieces #saddestsoundintheworld #flatwhite #trentham #conorobrien #unrequitedlove #🐾💔

A notable moment in Irish music history... Today marks the tenth anniversary of the release of Villagers' {Awayland}. The seminal album was released in 2013, hailed internationally, and marked the Dublin act as one of the country’s finest musical talents. As part of our Up Close and Personal series, filmed at The Grand Social in Dublin in September 2021, Conor O'Brien spoke in length to Paul McLoone about the Mercury Prize-nominated, Choice Music Prize-winning album. That interview is available to watch in full over on the Hot Press YouTube channel ❤️ Just hit the link in bio 📲 📸 Alison Kenny . . . . . @wearevillagers #villagers #awayland #upcloseandpersonal #conorobrien #choiceprize #mercuryprize #thegrandsocial @thegrandsocialdublin @choiceprize @mercuryprize @upcloseandpersonalpromotions @tourism.culture.gaeltacht

Live report 🖋 Villagers 30CC Schouwburg Leuven, Belgium 25/10/2022 « La bonne humeur de Villagers est contagieuse et le récital, bien que se déroulant dans une salle dont la majestuosité la rend plutôt intimidante, reste humble et accessible à tous les présents. » @wearevillagers @dominorecordsfr @30ccleuven #villagers #conorobrien #30ccleuven #belgique #leuven #livereport Link in bio

Witnessed a beautiful acoustic concert by @wearevillagers (Conor O’Brian) yesterday in Oslo. Such a great venue in the Jakob cultural church - setting the scene and atmosphere for this great artist and his wonderful voice and songs. Even got to meet Conor and chat with him after the gig - such a nice guy! 🤩 Grateful that my good friend @stefanomvik invited me to the show! 🤩🎶 . . . . . . . #villagers #villagersband #wearevillagers #conorobrien #indie #indielive #indiegig #indieconcert #indiefolk #indiefolkmusic #indiefolkmusician #concertphotography #concertphoto #gigphotography #gigphoto #gigphotos #livemusic #livemusicphotography #livemusicphoto #livemusicphotos

Will see Irish indie folk band Villagers live in Oslo tomorrow - an acoustic concert at @kulturkirkenjakob . Villagers is the musical project of the sole long-term member, Conor J O'Brien, who is a singer-songwriter based in Dublin. Really love ‘Fever Dream’, their (or ‘his’ 😉) sixth studio album, released August 20 last year. The artwork is simply stunning too❤️ @wearevillagers #villagers #villagersband #conorobrien #stefanomvikvillagers #villagersfeverdreams #feverdreams #irishmusic #albumsof2021 #brandnewmusic #feverdreamsalbum ************ #nowspinning #nowplaying #stefanomvikautographs #signedvinyl #musicautographs #vinylcollection #onmyturntable #lovevinyl #ilovevinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinylcommunitypost #instagramvinylcommunity #instagramvinyl #vinyljunkies #vinylcollector #radioheadcollection #vinylrecordcollection #vinyligclub

All the buses coming at once this month. It is a veritable tailback. Almost decided to forego a ticket for this because I didn’t think I’d be in a fit state or, as usual, would likely have contracted cholera or something from planes and metros. But it was to be in Coughlan’s, which was reason enough and, true to form, it ended up being the best Villagers gig I’ve attended. The sound was crystal clear, you could hear every lyric, and the audience was rapt. I’d a lovely seat-mate. We spent a lot of time beforehand eulogising Coughlan’s, to the extent I thought she was a local, but she was a local from Kilworth. Well, that will happen. It’s just the nicest venue going. I was absolutely gutted when The Lobby closed its doors. I had so many memories of magical performances there, music hanging in the air before attentive audiences as the windows steamed up on winter nights and car lights mesmerised on the bridge below. I even liked that tickets for sale were stored in a beer glass behind the counter. Then Coughlan’s came along, expressly determined to fill the gap left - and did. Lord, do I ever appreciate that. Happiest of tenths! #villagers #conorobrien #coughlanslive #livemusic #clmf22

Released 21 September 2018 Villagers: The Art of Pretending to Swim Conor O’Brien had earned a place among my favourite song writers long before the release of this, the fourth Villagers album. But I was blown away by the way he mixes up some pretty intense lyrics with a more carefree approach to music making. He really seems to be enjoying himself on these recordings - and that’s infectious! #albumoftheday #conorobrien #villagers #vinyl #vinylcollection #fortheloveofvinyl #vinyljunkie #vinyladdict #collectingvinyl #vinyloftheday #nowplaying #nowspinning #igvinylcollectors #vinyllove #vinyllover #vinylrecords #vinylrecord #instavinyl #vinylcommunity #recordoftheday #recordcollection #recordcollector #musiconvinyl #vinylgeek #onmyturntable
