Villagers have a third album entitled “Darling Arithmetic” coming out on April 10th on Domino Records. It will be the followup to “Awayland” it is billed as an “intimate album entirely about love and relationships.”
It was recorded at home in in O’Brien’s farmhouse loft with Conor playing every instrument – guitar, piano, Mellotron and brushes.
It sounds like a stripped-down affair and the first single ‘Courage’ espouses the ideas of the album: “It took a little time to get where I wanted / It took a little time to get free / It took a little time to be honest / It took a little time to be me,” O’Brien sings in plaintive and emotive quiet fashion.
