It’s double-shot Tuesday, er, Wednesday over here at K-VEG. You got the Lee Baby, you got the Lee Baby Simms show… Listen to me again. This new Okkervil River record is somethin else. I’m already on my fourth+ listen. The kind of songwriting that seems simultaneously complex and offhand. So crazy good. I’ve got to go back and listen harder to their earlier stuff – I’ve apparently been missing out.
This first one is the kind of song that could easily come apart in the hands of a lesser talent:
Okkervil River – Plus Ones
This next one is the album closer, and a fantastic one:
Okkervil River – John Allyn Smith Sails
I love. So many more good songs on this album – get The Stage Names!
9/5 at the Independent (SF) – who’s in?
