VILLAGERS

ARTIST / BAND: VILLAGERS
MP3: Becoming A Jackal
ALBUM: single
FILE UNDER: Indie, Pop
LABEL: DOMINO
INFO: From the very first seconds of Becoming a Jackal, he’s got you. A faint drone of organ, joined by eerie strings and a cascade of piano that collectively casts a Hitchcock movie shadow before a hushed voice asks, “Have you got just a minute? / Are you easily led? / Let me show the backroom / Where I saw the dead / Dancing like children on a midsummer morn / And they asked me to join” – and then the music obliges by with a similar spectral sweep. ‘I Saw the Dead’ is not just the album intro of 2010 to date but also a magnificent intro to the vivid narratives, gripping poetry and melodic depth of Conor J. O’Brien – or as he likes to call himself and his cohorts, Villagers.

To Rococo Rot

ARTIST / BAND: To Rococo Rot

SONG (MP3): Horses

ALBUM: Speculation

FILE UNDER: IDM / Electronica

LABEL: Domino

INFO:"Horses" is the first offering from the new record, and the serene track features a bubbling synth intermingling with light percussion and pastoral melodies. These days it seems like anyone with a budget bedroom setup can crank out a mellow tune and slap the "chill" label on it, but To Rococo Rot is still showing us how the pros like to get down.
