VILLAGERS RELEASE NEW SINGLE – THAT DAY – 4TH OCTOBER 2010
Villagers | 17/08/10
That Day will be the third single taken from Villagers’ much acclaimed, Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut album, Becoming a Jackal. Released on 4th October via digital download (RUG375D), That Day is a momentous paean to fate and communication. Sung to us by a narrator who is “embedded in this written story”, it’s bellowing and triumphant delivery belies its somewhat resigned and fateful lyrics.
