The Villagers are on tour right now with a few stateside shows before they run off to the UK, being from Dublin, Ireland. The good news is that they will be playing in a select few cities in the US starting mid-October. Haven’t felt awesome about music for a while, but this restores much hope. There’s also a homemade video of song “The Meaning of the Ritual” by Conor J. O’Brien (singer), which is worth a viewing. I like it when musicians happen to be artists. The Villagers songs are a series of poems in which their “A-HA” moment revealed sweet melodic emotionally driven music.
