07 Weekly Release Spotlight
Okkervil River
The Stand-Ins
[Jagjaguwar]
It's fitting that the first artist to receive the relatively newborn Weekly Release Spotlight accolade twice here at Radio K is Austin's Okkervil River, as their new record The Stand-Ins is an alleged sequel to their previously K-praised release The Stage Names. Retaining similar lyrical themes as well as incredibly satisfying cinematic crescendos, it shows us all over again why we fell in love with the band in the first place. And while the songs here also originate from the same recording sessions of that very critically acclaimed album, gone should be the stigma of a B-sides collection or a disappointing money-motivated Hollywood follow-up. No, The Stand-Ins is the Dark Knight of the indie rock world.
