Released 10th March 2023. It should come as no surprise that Van Morrison has made an album inspired by skiffle. Van Morrison’s love of skiffle dates back to his childhood. He would hang out at the famed Belfast record store Atlantic Records, where he’d hear early 20th century folk, blues and jazz from the likes of Lead Belly and Jelly Roll Morton. So when he heard Lonnie Donegan’s take on ‘Rock Island Line’ he intuitively understood the music he was creating. Before long, Van Morrison was pl...

SK Says: 'Light In The Attic's essential primer for the smooth melange of jazz, R&B and synth that makes up the City Pop sound- Japan's answer to the West's airwave-ruling yacht rock and adult contemporary movements. Essential summer listening featuring YMO's Haruomi Hosono and a host of household names in Japan unlikely to be familiar to anyone further ashore.' Pacific Breeze documents Japan’s blast into the stratosphere. By the 1960s, the nation had achieved a postwar miracle, soaring t...

Released 8th July 2022. In this time of strife, insanity and confusion, only one band is depraved enough to offer themselves up as herald.

Released 20th August 2021. Today, Conor O'Brien is pleased to announce Villagers' fifth studio album Fever Dreams which will be released on August 20th via Domino. Escapism is a very necessary pursuit right now, and Fever Dreams follows it to mesmerising effect. It works like all the best records - it becomes a mode of transport; it picks you up from where you are and sets you down elsewhere. O’Brien says on the gestation of Fever Dreams: “I had an urge to write something that was as generous...
