Okkervil River

On October 8, 2016, Okkervil River performed a live set at the KEXP studio, showcasing their distinctive blend of indie rock and folk influences. At this time, they had recently released their album "Away" in September 2016, which marked a significant shift in their sound following the departure of the band's longtime member, Will Sheff. This album is notable for its introspective themes and was described as a more personal and experimental project compared to their previous work. During the KEXP performance, the band played several songs from "Away," highlighting their evolution and the new direction they were pursuing. Additionally, the band's live performance style has always been dynamic, engaging audiences with heartfelt lyricism and intricate arrangements, a characteristic well demonstrated in this set. This recording further solidified their reputation as a compelling live act in the indie music scene.
