Conor O'Brien will release the fourth Villagers LP this autumn.
'The Art Of Pretending To Swim' will arrive on September 21 through Domino and follow up 2015’s 'Darling Arithmetic'.
Discussing the video for the record's first single, A Trick Of The Light, O'Brien said:
“Myself and Bob [Gallagher-director] got together and discussed the song thematically and came to the conclusion that there was no other option but to make a short film in which we follow a dishevelled shamanistic protagonist who mysteriously triggers an altered state of consciousness in everyone he meets, or at least believes that he does. We also wanted lots of dancing and to inspire a general feeling of "what the hell did I just watch?" in the viewer.”
'The Art Of Pretending To Swim' tracklist:
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
