Villagers share new track "Hot Scary Summer"
Ireland's Villagers have lifted the lid on a new track from upcoming LP Darling Arithmetic called "Hot Scary Summer".
The track follows lead cut "Courage", and sees bandleader Conor O'Brien sing about lost love destroyed by “all the pretty young homophobes looking out for a fight”.
Darling Arithmetic is out 13 April on Domino.
