Albums of the Year 2021

Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

Villagers is an indie folk band hailing from Dublin, Ireland. Formed in 2008, the band has gained a dedicated following with their unique sound and heartfelt lyrics. Drawing inspiration from various genres, Villagers' music combines elements of folk, rock, and alternative to create a truly captivating listening experience.

With influences ranging from Fionn Regan to Laura Marling, Villagers have carved out their own distinct musical identity. Their introspective songwriting and haunting melodies have garnered critical acclaim and earned them comparisons to renowned artists such as Damien Jurado and José González.

Whether it's the delicate guitar work or the emotive vocals of *Conor O'Brien*, Villagers' music has a way of resonating with listeners on a deep level. Fans of indie folk acts like Great Lake Swimmers and Lisa Hannigan will find themselves drawn to the evocative storytelling found within each track.

Villagers' release their fifth studio album Fever Dreams 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.

These are songs with the strange, melted shapes and the magical ambivalence of dreams. The intent of the songs is both mysterious and as clear as a bell. With Fever Dreams, there is a sense of a deepening mastery and an expanding reach by O’Brien. Inspiration for the album was found in many places and came in from all angles, from night swimming on a Dutch island to Flann O’Brien, Audre Lorde, David Lynch, L. S. Lowry via the library music of Piero Umiliani and Alessandro Alessandroni and jazz from Duke Ellington and Alice Coltrane.

Available on Dark Green vinyl with interchangeable album covers, Black vinyl and CD.
