Okkervil River<\/strong><\/a> has been overflowing the banks of our listening time, and their new album The Silver Gymnasium<\/strong><\/em> is the primary force majeure causing this quagmire (the three-song sequence of Down Down the Deep River, Pink-Slips<\/strong><\/em> and Lido Pier Suicide Car<\/strong><\/em> is the best of any album in recent memory).\u00a0 While out on tour in support of the new album, the band was captured unplugged, performing three songs off of the new album by NPR<\/strong>.\u00a0 Check it out below.\u00a0 There will be comic-geeking and Petty-<\/strong>talk by leader Will Sheff.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>And muted trumpets.\u00a0 And brilliant lyricism and goodwill all around.\u00a0 They play LA and SF<\/strong> <\/a>on October 20th and 22nd, respectively.<\/p>\n
