From last night’s performance, some of us have learned that there is indeed an Okkervil River and it exists in St. Petersburg, Russia that is… The Austin kids are promoting their latest rockin’ album, “I Am Very Far,” that will see them coming to town with Titus Andronicus. After giving the album several spins, I’ve come away with the fact that this album is the least “Okkervil” sounding album and I can appreciate the new direction of the band. Almost as if they were going to start heading down the path of putting together their own “YHF.”
