Okkervil River

On May 16, 2011, Okkervil River performed at Heaven in London, showcasing their signature indie rock style. At this point in their career, the band had just released 'I Am Very Far' earlier that same year, an album praised for its ambitious sound and introspective lyrics. This performance captured the band’s vibrant energy, highlighting tracks from that album. Interestingly, 'I Am Very Far' marked a transition for Okkervil River, reflecting a deeper, more existential approach to songwriting. The live recording not only presents their musical prowess but also showcases the connection they had with their audience, resonating perfectly with the themes of love and loss that are prevalent in their music. It's a nostalgic treat for fans, blending the raw emotion of the live experience with their lyrical depth.
