It's been three years since we last heard any new Villagers material, but now Conor O'Brien has announced his long-awaited fourth album.
The Dubliner will release 'The Art of Pretending to Swim' on September 21st via Domino Records - and by all accounts, it's a return to the 'multi-faceted' sound of 'Becoming a Jackal' and '{Awayland}', after 'Darling Arithmetic's comparatively pared-back sound.
O'Brien wrote, produced, mixed and played most of the instruments on the album in his Dublin studio, and you can see the rather fetching artwork and tracklist below:
1. Again
2. A Trick Of The Light
3. Sweet Saviour
4. Long Time Waiting
5. Fool
6. Love Came With All That It Brings
7. Real Go-Getter
8. Hold Me Down
9. Ada
