mesi Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Details Will Sheff follows-up his critically acclaimed 2016 album Away with In The Rainbow Rain. Recorded on the heels of touring the world behind that previous album, the band entered the studio energized, recording many of the tracks live, and in the process creating a massive sounding Okkervil River record. Sheff says, "I had intended the new songs to continue in the exact sonic vein of Away, but almost immediately they started to diverge somewhat wildly. The sound was more electric and playful - it was a happy sound, because I was happier than I’d been in years.” The purple and blue vinyl edition is limited to 1,000 copies total. - Actual color may vary. - First 200 pre-orders come with a signed postcard. Please Note this item is available for pre-order and will ship on or around April 20.

shamrocks Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Down The River/Black Sheep Boy/Stage Names is as good a stretch as any band in the 2000s and this is a great band. Im always interested to see whats next. I didnt love Away, but I ride hard for Sheff and co. and its exciting to hear what playful and "massive" OR sounds like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranch Cat Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I wonder if the 200 signed postcards are already gone. earlier this morning I was going through the checkout process and it added a second line item at $0.00 for the signed postcard. Thats no longer showing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillalivetui Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hmmm not sure how I feel about the single quite yet. But happy to see they're coming out with another album. I thought Away was going to be their final one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 New single gives me strong Dr. Dog/Floating Action vibes which I like. I'm not an Okkervil expert but I own a few of his records and this song sounds more warm/full than his normal stuff. I dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
