Darling Arithmetic, the third album from Villagers, is out now via Domino. It was written, recorded, produced and mixed by main man Conor O'Brien at home - the loft of a
converted farmhouse that he shares in the coastal town of Malahide to
the north of Dublin.
Backing up his vocal and guitar is piano, Mellotron (which accounts for the album's occasional horn and cello tones) and brushes. O'Brien plays every instrument on these exquisite, melodic songs in a sparse, spacious, acoustic-leaning fashion.
The new album is the follow-up to Villagers' debut, Becoming a Jackal, and its successor, Awayland - both widely acclaimed and nominated for Britain's Mercury Music Prize.
