Villagers offers up new track ‘Summer’s Song’

Not content with having released an album last year, Villagers has now offered a new track titled ‘Summer’s Song’.

Having released his fourth album ‘The Art Of Pretending To Swim’ just last year - read our verdict here - Conor O’Brien has now offered up his new track, which comes produced by himself before being mixed by David Fridmann.

Speaking of the track itself, O’Brien has said: “‘Summer’s Song’ is the closest I’ll ever get to writing a pure pop song. I just had to roll with it and I’m glad I did; it was really just an excuse to make the horns sound like sunbeams. Boy it’s fun to play live. I can’t quite believe we managed to get the magical touch of Dave Fridmann in on the mix.”
