Okkervil River

On October 8, 2016, Okkervil River performed live at the KEXP studio in Seattle, showcasing their song "Okkervil River R.I.P." This performance came shortly after the release of their album "Away," which debuted in September 2016. "Away" marked a significant point in the band's evolution, being their first album since the departure of key member Patrick Pestorius and featuring a shift towards an introspective and mature sound. The recording encapsulates a transitional period for the band, highlighting their resilience and creativity following lineup changes. Notably, during this performance, the band's lead vocalist and songwriter, Will Sheff, conveyed themes of reflection and nostalgia, which resonate deeply in both the song and the recent album's tracks, illustrating Okkervil River's ongoing artistic journey and relevance in contemporary indie music.
