“The goal was to push my brain to places it didn’t want to go: the idea was to not have any idea to keep myself confused about what I was doing”: that’s what frontman Will Sheff says about Okkervil River‘s 2011 album. The resulting record, I Am Very Far, is a startling break from anything this band has done before. By turns terrifying and joyous, violent and serene, grotesque and romantic, it’s a celebration of forces beyond our control.
