Agency talent Renae Brito features as the lead in the latest music video “The first day” from the Villagers, filmed in 2020 between lockdowns. A paean to human connection, directed by Daniel Bereton.
“The First Day” is the first release from the Irish indie-folk band since their 2019 EP The Sunday Walker. O’Brien says of the record, “I had an urge to write something that was as generous to the listener as it was to myself. Sometimes the most delirious states can produce the most ecstatic, euphoric and escapist dreams.”
