Okkervil River New Album 2008-06-13 by GOme | 8 Comments | "Well, a year later, we've got the second half of that double album. Arriving September 9 via Jagjaguwar, the previously reported The Stand Ins continues the story begun by The Stage Names. Among its 11 tracks, the album features the "Savannah Smiles" sequel "Starry Stairs" (discussed in Mike Carriere's interview with Sheff in August) and "Lost Coastlines", a duet between Sheff and Jonathan Meiburg, who recently left Okkervil to concentrate on his band Shearwater full-time. "Lost Coastlines" discusses "the joys and hardships of trying to keep the band together," according to a press release. Okkervil River touring guitarist Charles Bissell of the Wrens also contributed to the album.
The sequel theme even extends to the album cover, which depicts what's going on just below the cover of The Stage Names. (I've lined them up after the jump so you can see what's going on there.)
Okkervil River will celebrate The Stand Ins with a mammoth fall tour of North America and the UK. Onward!"
