Villagers have unveiled the details of six UK headline dates for November.
Led principally by Conor O’Brien, the group will perform in Edinburgh, Hebden Bridge, London, Oxford, Bath and Norwich during the short trip.
Villagers released their second studio album ‘{Awayland}’ earlier this year, which has proved to be one of Live4ever’s favourites of 2013 so far.
“Villagers triumph remains in their construction of (often) uplifting façades to bleak underlying texts, but that’s not to say ‘{Awayland}’ is a disheartening album. There are hints, such as in ‘Rhythm Composer’, of salvation. But even this song is a double-edged sword as we learn, ‘In actuality, only the rhythm composes you’,” our review reads.
“One can only admire O’Brien’s musical and lyrical dexterity – there are more twists and turns than a corkscrew and ‘{Awayland}’ feels like a band that has finally found its feet.”
