I Am Very Far

Okkervil River

Dense, theatrical, and occasionally violent indie rock. A maximalist departure into surreal storytelling and orchestral dissonance that feels like a fever dream.

May 6, 2011 · Jagjaguwar

A high-tension, surrealist fever dream that balances intellectual complexity with raw, explosive emotional outbursts.
