OK, more news on the new Okkervil River album. Due for release by Jagjaguwar on May 10, here is the artwork, once again done by the extremely talented William Schaff. Listed below is the track listing. This week the band released a single on vinyl containing two tracks. "Mermaid" and "Walked Out On a Line". Holy cow, they are amazing!
