OKKERVIL RIVER - Black Sheep Boy

Band: OKKERVIL RIVER
Album: Black Sheep Boy
Label: Jagjaguwar

Sometimes folky, sometimes alt.rock, sometimes orchestral (or all three at once) but always interesting. Their sound is "strongly founded on dark and profound lyrics". Some of these songs can make you care and cry at the same time. Thoughtful, melodic, laid back and somewhat country tinged with an evil streak that strikes just when you think you've got it all worked out. If you like Bright Eyes and Palace/ Bonnie "Prince" Billy/ Will Oldham you'll find this will fluff your nighty-night pillow. Introspective without being whiny.
