Okkervil River

In the live recording from November 25, 2011, Okkervil River performed 'Unless It’s Kicks' at L’Orangerie du Botanique in Brussels, just after the release of their album 'I Am Very Far.' This album, released in May 2011, marked a significant evolution in their sound, characterized by a more experimental and layered approach compared to their earlier work. Interestingly, lead singer Will Sheff incorporated a deeper emotional narrative into the lyrics, reflecting a personal and artistic maturation. The setlist that night likely showcased their growth, blending their folk-rock roots with more ambitious sonic explorations. It’s also worth noting that this performance illustrates Okkervil River's knack for creating engaging live experiences, perfectly capturing their dynamic energy.
