Okkervil River- I Am Very Far

Release Date- 9 May 2011
I've always liked this band from Austin, (I'm looking at you Josh). They've always had a kind of folksy feel about them, like a more folksy Arcade Fire. Their last album, The Stand Ins, is one of my favorite albums in recent memory. It seems as if on this album, they've incorporated new sounds. Possibly a result of new found confidence gained after their last success. I was eagerly anticipating this album and it doesn't disappoint. I would say it's a notch down from The Stand Ins, but it's still a great album.
4/5 Ian Curtis heads

I finally got around to really giving this album a good, diligent listen...its quite strong. I gave it a gloss over earlier, thought it was good, but after further review, its quite good.
