"PASSING A MESSAGE" BOOK RELEASE WITH FABER MUSIC (12 SEPT) /
I am beyond excited to announce the release of my first book with Faber Music.
Collected for the first time in one volume, Passing A Message: The lyrics and artwork of Conor J. O'Brien for the music of VILLAGERS contains the lyrics to over 80 songs, with artwork and photographs, along with previously unseen notebook lyric drafts and drawings curated by Conor J. O’Brien, for his musical project, Villagers. Presented as a full colour hardback book, with a unique glow-in-the-dark cover, there will also be a LIMITED DELUXE EDITION which comes with a 7" vinyl featuring an exclusive unreleased track 'Pictures of the Floating World' (featuring Rachael Lavelle). Both editions are now available for PRE-ORDER for release on 12 September 2024.
To celebrate the release of the book I will be doing a live Q & A + acoustic performance in Chapters, Dublin on 12 Sept & Rough Trade East on 18 Sept. https://linktr.ee/passingamessage

NEW ALBUM - THAT GOLDEN TIME - 10 MAY 2024 /
"So excited to announce that my new album 'That Golden Time' will be coming out on Domino on 10th May.
'That Golden Time' explores disorientation, metamorphosis, value and currency. I found myself writing about power, avarice, and the cloudy grey area between the extremes. It's probably the most vulnerable album I've made. Sometimes it gets blinded by the lights and the shiny screens. It's always leaning towards a transcendence of sorts. It's a large chunk of my soul and I hope you enjoy’
To celebrate, Villagers will be touring in May/June. TOUR DATES
(UK pre-orders of That Golden Time via the Villagers store will gain exclusive pre-sale access to just-announced UK live dates in June (UK orders only). Order before midnight GMT Tuesday 22nd January for eligibility)
