VILLAGERS
Villagers' debut album "Becoming A Jackal" is currently shortlisted for the 2010 Mercury Prize. From the very first seconds of Becoming a Jackal , he's got you. A faint drone of organ, joined by eerie strings and a cascade of piano that collectively casts a Hitchcock movie shadow before a hushed voice asks, “Have you got just a minute? / Are you easily led? / Let me show the backroom / Where I saw the dead / Dancing like children on a midsummer morn / And they asked me to join” – and then the music obliges by with a similar spectral sweep. ‘I Saw the Dead' is not just the album intro of 2010 to date but also a magnificent intro to the vivid narratives, gripping poetry and melodic depth of Conor J. O'Brien – or as he likes to call himself and his cohorts, Villagers. Check out VILLAGERS solo performance of "Becoming A Jackal" on the new series of LATER with JOOLS HOLLAND Contact UK/Europe Live Bookings

Race Horses' debut album "Goodbye Falkenburg" is now available to order on CD from FP SHOP or Digitally from iTunes. Conceived as a collage of a salty old sailor's life memories: “stories of good times and bad, of girls and champagne, of loneliness and longing.” Bursting with ideas, zig-zagging between musical reference points from The Beatles to Suicide, this is an ambitious –and brilliant – debut, the place where Barbershop meets post-rock via folk, oompah, psychedelia and pop.

Featuring "Pony" Race Horses version of "No Mans Land" a Syd Barret cover the single will be available from iTunes and all digital stores. Contact Press will@inhousepress.com
