Okkervil River

On July 19, 2016, Okkervil River performed live at WFUV, marking a significant moment in their career as it followed the release of their album "Away," which came out in September 2016. "Away" showcased a stylistic shift for the band, incorporating electronic elements and introspective themes, a contrast to their earlier folk-rock sound. The live performance of "For Real" exemplified this evolution, as it reflects the band's exploration of new musical landscapes and emotional depths. Furthermore, at the time of this recording, Okkervil River was gaining renewed attention after a period of artistic redefinition, having released their previous album, "The Silver Gymnasium," in 2013. This performance was a part of their promotional efforts, displaying their commitment to connecting with audiences both through live music and innovative studio recordings.
