Okkervil River

Before the live recording of "Down Down The Deep River" in Bozeman on November 30, 2012, Okkervil River had just released their album "I Am Very Far" in 2011. This album marked a notable shift in their sound, leaning more towards a lush, expansive production compared to earlier works. The release before this was "The Stage Names" (2007), which garnered significant indie acclaim and featured hits like "Our Life Is Not a Movie or Maybe." The performance captured in Bozeman showcases the band's depth and lyrical sophistication, reflecting a period where they were evolving their artistic expression. Fast forward to 2020, and this live recording was included in the compilation "A Dream In The Dark: Two Decades Of Okkervil River Live," emphasizing their enduring impact and growth in the indie music scene.
