Villagers share gospel-like new song ‘So Simpatico’ and announce in-store gigs
Villagers have released ‘So Simpatico’, the second single from their fifth album ‘Fever Dreams‘, and announced a string of in-store gigs.The song, which comes with a Rosie Barrett-directed music video, is about “devotion – whether to a person, the self, or the art of being”, said frontman Conor O’Brien, adding that a “struggle for authenticity” is at the track’s core.“We all jammed and recorded an early version with too many words and I took it home and simplified it until it was as pure an expression as possible. It’s a pop song about the essence of love,” O’Brien added.
