Okkervil River unveil sketchy details for new album

News just in!! On September 9, Jagjaguwar will release The Stand Ins, the fifth full-length album from Austin, Texas’ Okkervil River.

The album is described as a sequel to last years much loved The Stage Names, which was originally conceived as a double album. According to an interview with Pitchfork last year. We’re guessing this must be the tracks that didn’t make it first time round…

After Okkervil’s epic set at last weekends ATP vs Explosions In The Sky, they will return to the UK in July for a show at the Trinity Arts Centre in Bristol on the 18th July followed by an appearence at Oxford’s Truck festival the day after.

Not content, the band will then head over here again in November for a full UK tour. Dates are:

November
5th NORWICH WATERFRONT
6th MANCHESTER ACADEMY
7th DUBLIN ACADEMY
9th GLASGOW ORAN MOR
10th WOLVERHAMPTON WULFRUN
11th LONDON SHEPHERDS BUSH EMPIRE
12th BRIGHTON CONCORDE 2
