Okkervil River (New Material?)
"We’re going on tour again in the fall and we’ll probably be playing some new songs. I love sharing new songs and refining them live in front of people. However, I’m going to save some of the new songs for our next recording session – in spite of the fact that we could use the rehearsal – for the simple reason that I don’t want them to be heard first in versions that are inferior because we’re still working through them and they’re poorly from soundboards. I’m not at all asking that you don’t record and share shows; rather, I myself am going to try to choose some songs that I’m okay having shared in early versions." (Will Sheff)
- So, I only feel a little guilty about doing this - incidentally, you can read Will's entire post on this thread: http://jound.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=943 It's really quite interesting.
Anyway, new songs from some live show (but good quality), that Will may or may not be able to cope with being shared. This one, I believe, is going to be released sometime (see end of post):

Apparently some of their songs from recording sessions earlier this year are going to be released (vinyl-only) sometime in the moderately near future? Or something like that anyway. The web contains infinite contradictory information.
