With In the Rainbow Rain, Okkervil River confirms their return to the top of indie folk.
Okkervil River present their magnificent new album In The Rainbow Rain, to be released on ATO Records. This album is a declaration of hope in which bandleader Will Sheff explores the bravery of optimism and the beauty of community. Produced by Sheff and mixed by Shawn Everett (Julian Casablancas, Alabama Shakes), In The Rainbow Rain follows the acclaimed Away, released in 2016. This new album, however, takes a different path – while Away was dreamy and solitary, In The Rainbow Rain is its next chapter, joyful and vulnerable.
In The Rainbow Rain features ten songs written by Sheff with contributions from his new collaborators, Benjamin Lazar Davis (bass), Will Graefe (guitar), Sarah Pedinotti (keyboards), and Cully Symington (drums) – the same lineup that accompanied Sheff on the Away tour.
