Watch Okkervil River Rockin’ on KDHX

Nov 17th, 2013 in Music

OR

We’ve said it once, we’ve said it twice, and we will say it evermore: Will Sheff’s Okkervil River has consistently produced some of the best albums in the post-millennium oeuvre.  The most recent, The Silver Gymnasium, may be the crowning achievement.  At a minimum it is one our favorite albums of 2013. And one of our favorite songs off the album is Pink Slips, which you can watch the band perform below via KDHX.  We love the whole, rockin’ performance, but particularly from 3:34 to the end.  The ensemble is superb, but Lauren Gurgiolo’s guitar playing and Cully Symington’s drumming stand out (in addition to the high background vocals that smack of The Flaming Lips).  After, check out two more greats from the band for KDHX, the fantabulous anthem Stay Young and Where The Spirit Left Us.  And at bottom you can listen to the entire KDHX session and an extra song.
