Villagers Team Up With Charlotte Gainsbourg for Record Store Day Release

Villagers have teamed up with Anglo-French actress and singer-songwriter Charlotte Gainsbourg for a split 7” single in support of tomorrow’s Record Store Day (16th April). The record will feature the track ‘Set the Tigers Free’, taken from Villagers’ 2010 debut album ‘Becoming a Jackal’, as well as a new song called ‘Memoirs’. Both tracks can be heardhere.

The idea for the record came about when Charlotte approached Villagers’ Conor O’Brien last year, asking him to compose a song for her. The result was ‘Memoirs’, which the pair recorded together at Studio Ferber in Paris. In addition to its special release for Record Store Day, which features cover art by Conor O’Brien, the track will be included on Charlotte’s forthcoming album ‘Live and Unreleased’.
