Conor O'Brien is pleased to announce Villagers' fifth studio album Fever Dreams which will be released on August 20th via Domino. Escapism is a very necessary pursuit right now, and Fever Dreams follows it to mesmerising effect. It works like all the best records - it becomes a mode of transport; it picks you up from where you are and sets you down elsewhere.
O’Brien says on the gestation of Fever Dreams: “I had an urge to write something that was as generous to the listener as it was to myself. Sometimes the most delirious states can produce the most ecstatic, euphoric and escapist dreams.”
These are songs with the strange, melted shapes and the magical ambivalence of dreams. The intent of the songs is both mysterious and as clear as a bell. With Fever Dreams, there is a sense of a deepening mastery and an expanding reach by O’Brien. Inspiration for the album was found in many places and came in from all angles, from night swimming on a Dutch island to Flann O’Brien, Audre Lorde, David Lynch, L. S. Lowry via the library music of Piero Umiliani and Alessandro Alessandroni and jazz from Duke Ellington and Alice Coltrane.
Written over the course of two years, the main bodies of the songs were recorded in a series of full-band studio sessions in late 2019 and early 2020. During the long, slow pandemic days, O’Brien refined them in his tiny home studio in Dublin, and the album was then mixed by David Wrench (Frank Ocean, The xx, FKA Twigs).

Last FM Information on Villagers
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Villager is unfortunately linked to the profile of Villagers, the Irish indie-folk band, causing confusion for listeners and followers alike. This is yet another example of the ongoing lack of attention to detail and proper site management by the last.fm team. For years, issues like this have persisted without proper resolution, leaving the site’s functionality to suffer and its user experience compromised. It's frustrating for independent artists like Villager, whose identity is muddled because of systemic negligence.
To clear up any confusion, make sure to seek out Villager’s music separately, and let’s hope the last.fm team takes note of this ongoing issue.
