Okkervil River

In this live performance recorded on September 11, 2013, at WFUV Studio A in New York, Okkervil River delivers an intimate rendition of 'It Was My Season.' At this time, the band had just released their sixth studio album, 'The Silver Gymnasium,' which came out earlier that same year. This album marked a significant chapter in their evolution, with frontman Will Sheff drawing inspiration from his New England roots, evoking a sense of nostalgia and reflection. The live setup at WFUV added a raw energy to their sound, showcasing their dynamic musicianship and Sheff's storytelling prowess. Fun fact: the album even features references to life in the 1980s, blending a personal narrative with broader themes, making the performance all the more poignant during a moment on the anniversary of 9/11.
