Okkervil River

In October 2011, Okkervil River was riding high on the critical acclaim of their album "I Am Very Far," which was released earlier that year. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, reflecting their evolving sound and introspective lyrics. The live performance of "Lost Coastlines" at The Forum Theatre in Melbourne showcases not just the band's energetic presence, but also the intricate storytelling woven into their music. It's interesting to note that this track originally appeared on their earlier album, "The Stage Names," and has since become a fan favorite, often played at their shows. The live recording captures the electric atmosphere and the connection between the band and the audience, a hallmark of Okkervil River's performances. This period was significant for the band, as they were exploring deeper themes while maintaining their distinctive folk-rock style.
