Okkervil River - The Stand Ins
September 9th, 2008 | Published in Reviews
Playing out Part Two of the story that started with their 2007 album, The Stage Names, Okkervil River comes back stronger and better than ever on their recent release, The Stand Ins. Bellowing his epic stories over a beautiful folk-rock blend, Will Sheff hasn’t failed to craft another awe-invoking album full of vibrantly novel-esque numbers that seem to grow to epic proportions. Once again adding another bright star to Bloomington’s Jagjaguwar catalogue, this album is one worth listening to again and again.
