Villagers release new EP, The Sunday Walker

Villagers have unveiled their new EP, The Sunday Walker, today. The new release consists of four songs that were recorded around the time of The Art Of Pretending To Swim sessions.

While the EP is already available to stream on Spotify and other platforms, the vinyl release of The Sunday Walker is due on November 22.

Frontman Conor O'Brien says about the new EP, "The tracks that fell through the cracks; it turns out they had their own story to tell. The Sunday Walker EP is a collection of lost songs as much as it is an emotional arc. Songs of loss and songs of realisation. Songs of empathy and isolation."
