New Okkervil River, “Long Coastlines” from ‘The Stand Ins’

Okkervil RiverOkkervil River’s newest record, The Stand Ins, is due from Jagjag just shy of a month from now. Remember: their last few records (Black Sheep Boy, The Stage Names) have been pretty damn great. So it probably stands to reason that this new one should be fairly amazing too, dunnit? What’s that? You need “evidence?” Then try out the mp3, which takes the standard Okkervil flavor, and throws in one of those jangly, bouncy, Smiths-y beats that I always imagine Molly Ringwald dancing to.
