	PopMatters Music Interview \| The Black Sheep Boys Have Arrived
		I've got a feeling that when Sheff and the rest of Okkervil River assume their proper place at the top of the indie rock feeding chain that it's as likely as not that there will be some bare rumps and rough mornings.
		Okkervil River's current live set is all steadily building peaks and crescendos balancing precariously at their high points, dragged out, sustained, pushed, into a gleefully head bobbing zone that can get even the most jaded scenester smiling.
		Okkervil River is probably a long way away from the kind of rock 'n' roll debauchery made famous by others.

	Okkervil River : Down the River of Golden Dreams - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Down the River of Golden Dreams is the record Okkervil River has been threatening to make since its 2000 issue, Stars Too Small to Use.
		Because of this, Down the River of Golden Dreams is easily the group's most cohesive record to date, and solidifies Okkervil River as a band worthy of scrutiny.
		Liberal use of Rhodes, Hammond organ, and Mellotrons is the catalyst of these songs, leading the strings and horns through crescendos and textural landscapes without losing the raw nature that has always suited Okkervil River's honesty and desire to connect with the listener on an emotional level very well.

	Tiny Mix Tapes: Okkervil River
		Black Sheep Boy is Sheff's band Okkervil River's third full-length, which complements a sizeable discography of musical miscellany produced since the band's first EP dropped in 1998.
		Ostensibly a dirgey, occasionally waltzy folk-rock outfit, Okkervil River differs from some of their more dyed in the wool contemporaries in both lyrical content and delivery, with an extremely well-developed pop sensibility.
		Okkervil River don't need a laundry list of guest musicians to get the job done -- guitar, bass, drums, and the occasional well-placed trumpet, all played with plenty of feeling, get the point across sufficiently.

		Okkervil River performs at Hailey's on May 28, with Shearwater and Quintron.
		When Okkervil River songwriter Will Sheff read in Austin's daily rag that only the worst bands write songs with their own names in them (i.e., Bad Company's "Bad Company," Backstreet Boys' "Backstreet's Back"), it was practically a dare.
		Soon after, Sheff penned "Okkervil River Song," a ballad of violence and beauty laid atop a shuffle of pump organ and mandolin.

		The brown waters of Okkervil River slide lazily through the fields and dales of the south, past sun-faded grasses and over rocky, cool hills.
		And finally, gloriously, there is the tum-tum-drummed, melody-from-the-gods "Okkervil River Song", which tells of the water that stares back, the night that falls "from tangles", the altar and the nightly fires.
		"Okkervil River Song" builds the barn and burns it down; it waltzes in the ashes, kicks up its heels, and then reminisces.

	Amazon.com: Black Sheep Boy: Music: Okkervil River (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Okkervil River was one of those obscure bands that no one would ever find without some digging, one of those band that needed, absolutely demanded commercial and critical success but you know would never receive it and drift off into some shadowy part of history, forever forgotten.
		Okkervil River not only manage to form a distinct sound (maybe described as somewhat folky, somewhat indie-rock, somewhat classical) but they pepper it with this all-defining mood of loss, not just of love, but of friendship, which is fairly refreshing.
		Okkervil River goes a bit rock and pop with songs like "Black" and "All the Latest Toughs"; they absolutely blister with the raw and wonderfully coarse "For Real"; quiet down with the delicate and sublime "A Stone".

		But what's unique is the way that the songs feel both like complete stories and like half-formed stories, the one they're emotionally complete yet at the same time incomplete, and the way he pairs such specific, tangible, visceral details with philosophical statements and question marks.
		Okkervil River's new EP Sleep and Wake-Up Songs begins with a childhood tale of desire and identity ("A Favor"), and also includes both a song called "And I Have Seen the World of Dreams" and a perfectly circuitous (and pefectly, delicately melodic) love song ("Just Give Me Time").
		It's a succint example of how Okkervil River use songs to probe the deepest questions, in ways that present no firm answers but are endlessly provoking.

	PIXELSURGEON \| Reviews \| Music \| Okkervil River
		Though the lyrics are certainly the thing here, musically Okkervil River aren't exactly slackers, layering strings over some inspired percussive touches – and even employing a mandolin at one point.
		Yes they have a wilfully difficult name (it's a real river near St Petersburg apparently) and cover art that resembles the kind of thing a fifteen year old Marilyn Manson fan might scrawl on their school exercise books.
		But none of that matters, because ultimately Okkervil River are the kind of band who make you wish for further advancements in human cloning just so that you could have a second self to soundly scold for not having discovered them sooner.

	Okkervil River: Black Sheep Boy (2005): Reviews
		Consistently excellent, Okkervil River's Black Sheep Boy is a record that stuns on first listen, then manages the elusive -- it sinks deep into your soul.
		The force of Okkervil's last LP, '03's Down the River of Golden Dreams, is strengthened and stretched on Black Sheep Boy, bursting with the heaviness of heart.
		Okkervil River continue to deliver the quality of Down the River of Golden Dreams, and though sonic evolution is barely existent from that recording, perhaps it doesn't need to be; certainly Sheff's songwriting still floats above that of his peers.

	TANGMONKEY.COM [ REVIEW: Okkervil River: Down the River of Golden Dreams ]
		And while the songs remain melancholy, Okkervil River no longer plays songs for wakes or barn-burnings; they play songs for bedrooms and dreams, road-trips and lakeshores.
		Down the River of Golden Dreams is not an album of genius, but it has enough flecks of brilliance to justify superlatives.
		Okkervil River has not yet arrived at wherever it is the band is ultimately headed: for the moment, however, the journey is a light-kissed delight in itself.

		Okkervil River is some of the most beautiful, heart-wrenching music I have heard in such a long time.

		Okkervil River will be in Toronto at Lee's Palace on November 7.
		i'd say the biggest difference between shearwater and okkervil is that the majority of shearwater's songs are written/sung by jonathan meiburg, who does back-up vocals/keyboards/accordion for okkervil river.
		by the way, i prefer okkervil river's "don't fall in love with everyone you see" to "down the river of golden dreams." oh, and their first album, "stars too small to use," is pretty hard to find.

	See You In The Pit: Okkervil River
		In fact, when Okkervil were on tour with the aforementioned lit-loving, historically dramatic band, reports from the crowd told me that Okkervil River blew the tall-socks-and-fl-rimmed-glasses college sophomores right to the back wall.
		And of course, I must also give my stamp of approval to the wonderful, heartbreaking "Okkervil River Song." The song they wrote just so you know how to pronounce the name also happens to be one of the best folk songs written this past decade: mournful, breath-taking, shattering, a classic.
		BTW, Okkervil River's name is on the cover of this month's No Depression mag--the buzz is getting louder, so parties might be a better chance to see this band over their showcase, which promises to be packed to the gills.

	Splendid Magazine reviews South San Gabriel/Okkervil River: Stark Miami Mines/Satisfy You
		While Okkervil River are probably the most established act of the pair, South San Gabriel -- otherwise known as Centro-Matic's Will Johnson -- scores a spot on the "featuring" sticker, presumably because Tight Spot Records is based in Austin.
		It's a wordy track, seemingly more in love with the sound of its lyrics than their meaning (sample: "And we were checking all departments as it was rumored to be / that the setlists and the landmines were offered up for free."), but elegant, simple and reasonably moving.
		Okkervil River's "Satisfy You" will suit listeners who like a little more texture in their music -- provided by banjo, violin and Hammond organ -- and don't mind if the vocals are a bit rough.

		Okkervil River choose a very different concluding tack on the Appendix: Instead of a big push and subsiding finale, "Last Love Song for Now" offsets its lyrical gravity and the fresh, raw pain in Sheff's vocals with handclaps and horn charts-- pop devices that turn in on themselves.
