Villagers: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
Conor O'Brien essentially is Villagers. The Dublin, Ireland, native played nearly all of the instruments on the band's debut album, 'Becoming a Jackal,' and even did the cover artwork. Though he tours with a full backing band, for this Tiny Desk performance he showed up with just his guitar. In the process, he treated the NPR staff to one of the most beautiful and memorable sets we've had here.
Setlist:
"Ship of Promises"
"Becoming a Jackal"
"Twenty Seven Strangers"

How are Villagers not better known? In my humble opinion one of the best song writers of all time. His music has given me so much joy, comfort and perspective. Incredible artist and beautiful musician!
Conor, I went to your very first concert in Hamburg when you played the Jackall album. I was 29 at the time and, bit late, just starting to live my life in a way. I've been struggling with anxiety and depression most of my life but your music, especially Jackall, has given me so much life and emotions. I've been listening to your music ever since. So thank you making me come alive in a way.
This music has soul. Thank you for keeping real music safe and alive.
Oh love Conor if you ever see him in person it’s pure magic😊
dude has a fantastic voice and great volume control over voice/guitar
The most brilliant and under consumed sound today.
and btw: I love how you pronounce every particle of every word you sing.

OMG YES
And it's so interesting how you can interpret the meaning of the songs in a new light since Darling Arithmetic.
I can't stop listening to him !
Great performance, new stuff is even better though. Get him back in NPR!

***** Npr said they have a policy that they dont have people back, so one concert per artist or band. Its a crappy policy but it keeps it fresh i guess

That makes no sense. It'd make more sense if it's one concert per album or a couple albums, because artists can change considerably between releases.

they actually had alt-J back, under the condition that they made a very different concert recently, we can always hope they would make new exceptions!
Such a great warm sound, thanks for posting!
Conor for his tender years has gravitas and talent. A joy to listen to. Again we Irish despite the awfulness of our politicians have a soul and a voice that links to the world.
The thumbnail to this is amazing.
Truly magnificent.
Wonderful performance!
every year turns best this video
I love love love. More Library sessions please - bring yourself to nz man!!
Totally sublime...buy the album it is genius.
The only problem with this performance is that it is too short.
As clear as a bell,,,,cool,,,
Ah, no dislikes for Conor ♥ The haircut though :D
awesome.
Met Conor in Dublin airport when I was working there. Absolute legend but completely normal
So good. I wish I was a jackal.
First video I see without any dislikes
inspirational.
music that takes you to the place in between, where which Connor O'Brian resides and must deliver us his message in song.
The album were have you been all my life . The lyric you were my lighthouse for my wreck.
Nice show, young lad! Sounds a bit like Conor Oberst, but this Coner has plenty of time to evolve - and he's already got that real bard vibe...Not to mention props to anyone who can just stand up there naked behind a mic and acoustic guitar. That's true talent!
Very nice
You and Courtney Barnett would be so beautiful playing music together. Please, please meet.
good shit
amazing!!!
@mark150988 thanks so much dude. :D
Один из лучших
those lyrics ring
Bit of a muted, half arsed response on the applause. I thought the fella at least deserved a 'whooop whoop' or 3...
fuckin brilliant
Still the best TDC lol
oh do you?
excellent. really top quality stuff. but it seems at this stage he hadn't worked out how to end his songs
i wonder dreams to you,,,
This guy is supremely talented. His words are dream like. If he was (not to say he not good looking, he ain't bad) good looking he'd be huge. Fuckin music industry is so bia's to good looking folks.
