One of our most anticipated new albums of the year is Okkervil River’s The Silver Gymnasium.  And today we get a great glimpse of the new album. Over at the Okkervil River website there’s a lyric video for the first song, It Was My Season, from the new album.  The video was filmed last week at the Plainfield Town Hall, where a hand-painted backdrop by Maxfield Parrish has sat for decades. According to bandleader Will Sheff:  “The backdrop was created so that it could be lit to simulate different times of day, and in the video Nancy Norwalk – Plainfield’s Head Librarian and one of leaders of a 1990 restoration of the backdrop – takes us through the different lighting schemes, from dawn to nightfall. All those lighting and color changes aren’t computers – that’s Parrish’s painting and Nancy working the over-one-hundred-year-old Kliegl lighting system designed for it.”  Check it out below and enjoy this great new song from the band.  We can’t wait to hear more and to catch them live in Cali in October.
