Okkervil River

On October 8, 2016, Okkervil River performed "Unless It's Kicks" live at the KEXP studio in Seattle, showcasing their artistic evolution following the release of their album *Away* in 2016. This project marked a significant period for the band, as it was their first album after the departure of longtime member Will Sheff from the group’s original lineup. *Away* explored themes of personal loss and transformation, with more introspective songwriting reflecting Sheff's experiences. During this live performance, the band displayed their characteristic blend of indie rock and folk influences, while also incorporating newer elements that emerged in *Away*. This event was part of KEXP's commitment to promoting live music, allowing fans to connect intimately with the artists, which aligns perfectly with Okkervil River's narrative-driven style.
