Folksy quartet, headed by Will Sheff, official website HERE.

There's a massive, personalised biog at the band's website. Here's a wee taster:

"...And then came endless touring. I moved out of my house, we added the phenomenal Mr. Nelsen to the band permanently, and Okkervil left home. Forever. I became more and more of a stranger to the town I had loved. Visits to Austin shrunk down into a show, maybe a burger at Casino beforehand or a breakfast at Polvo's the next day if I was lucky, and a trip to my storage space to pay my always-delinquent rent in a handful of ones and inhale the odor of my possessions wafting out of the dark boxes..."

Some press blurb from a website that isn't this one:
"Okkervil River write dreamy songs with slumber-blurred stories and play them with a drifting, somnambulant gait." - Stephen Deusner, Pitchfork
