Claude says:Conor O'Brien's Villagers emerged from the ashes of The Immediate in the late 2000s, quickly earning Mercury Prize nods for literate, thoughtfully arranged indie folk. This session captures the project stripped down at Spotify's London studio — mostly just O'Brien's voice and guitar working through album material in a bare room. You gave it a single play back in January 2022, circled back once in 2024, and caught "Nothing Arrived" live again this past summer — enough to respect the craft, but it's never quite stuck.
