The Stand Ins

Description

A year after *The Stage Names* was proclaimed album of the year by Pitchfork, OKKERVIL RIVER releases its 5th album. *The Stand-Ins*, a translation of “the understudies”, is in fact the counterpart, the twin brother of *The Stage Names*, which WILL SHEF and JONATHAN MEIBURG had hesitated to release as a double album. Thus, *The Stand-Ins* revisits the same themes and formulas: entertainment, the hope it evokes, and its disappointments. The writing is once again perfectly mastered, simple and refreshing. The track "Lost Coastline", which evokes the band's joys and struggles, will be the swan song of MEIBURG, who is leaving OKKERVIL RIVER to dedicate himself entirely to SHEARWATER.
