This first track of Villagers 'Becoming A Jackal' is darkly wistful, very haunting, and extremely enticing. One is simply not enough. And the good news is the rest of the album succeeds to meet its standards. The strings and percussion prepare you for what is to come, the piano lures you in, the lyrics take you on a strange journey until you find yourself walking hesitantly down a long dark corridor towards the 'back room,' when it all suddenly ends with a thud like you've woken from a lucid dream. A beautiful introduction to a fantastic and thought provoking piece of work.
