Released in 2010 on the esteemed Domino label, Becoming A Jackal is the striking debut album from Irish songwriter Conor O'Brien under the Villagers moniker. Recorded at Attica Audio in County Donegal, Ireland, the album showcases O'Brien's remarkable range as a multi-instrumentalist, weaving together acoustic folk sensibilities with a bewitching, mature songwriting voice that earned widespread critical acclaim upon release.
Becoming A Jackal is a deeply immersive listen, blending delicate acoustic guitar work, intricate vocal harmonies, and richly layered arrangements into something truly memorable. This vinyl pressing includes a four-page album-sized lyric insert, allowing listeners to fully explore O'Brien's evocative and portentous storytelling — and with an etched Side Four adding a unique finishing touch, this is a beautifully presented edition of a modern folk-rock classic.
