'Becoming a Jackal' debuted at #1 in Ireland and has been called "one of the year's most captivating debuts" by NPR. The New York Times praised its "luminous mesh of acoustic and electric guitars, bass, piano and organ" while Paste Magazine bestowed Villagers with their "Best of What's Next" honor.
