Okkervil River- The Stage Names
Posted by: mike/dallas on 09 December 2007
I recently became familiar with a band Okkervil River that is excellent. Very dynamic and melodic with fine sonics, excellent pacing and utilizes some interesting sounds, mellatron, zylophone and pump organ to great effect.
Reminds me of the Hives, Franz Ferdinand, Spoon and Robin Hitchcock to some degree. Austin based but the signer Will Sheff has a British accent.
Top 10 list for 2007 and highly recommended. Catchy title would have been the Stage Naims, but why quibble.
