The Villagers
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, That Day is a momentous paean to fate and communication, or lack thereof. Sung to us by a narrator who is embedded in this written story, its bellowing and triumphant delivery belies its somewhat resigned and fateful lyrics.
