Okkervil River

In this live recording from August 31, 2012, at Upland Brewing Co. in Bloomington, Indiana, Okkervil River performed 'Lost Coastlines,' a standout track from their album 'The Stand Ins,' which was released in 2007. By this time, the band had already established themselves as a potent force in the indie rock scene, with their poignant storytelling and vibrant melodies resonating with fans. The performance captures the raw energy of the band, underlined by a casual and intimate atmosphere typical of smaller venues. Interestingly, 'Lost Coastlines' deals with themes of longing and the complexities of the human experience—perfectly showcasing frontman Will Sheff's lyrical prowess. This particular show, filled with a sense of camaraderie and perhaps a few beers, reflects the band's growth and connection with their audience, making it a memorable moment in their ongoing journey.
