Combining folk-rock inspirations and alternative rock sways, Okkervil River creates a particular visionary level-headed, strongly founded on benighted and profound lyrics and on chaotic visions of patterned effectual compounds. Okkervil River is a reciprocal project of Will Robison Sheff (vocals, guitar), and Seth Warren (drums), born when both were soundless in high schooltime, in Meriden, NH. After several long time and multiple life experiences, at the end of the '90s the twosome finally decided to reassemble the band, by then with an extended lineup, afterward they both relocated to Austin, TX. Following the addition of Zachary Thomas (vocals, bass), Jonathan Meiburg (vocals, banjo), and drummer Mark Pedini, Okkervil River reappeared. In 1998, the group offered their first-class honours degree and self-released disc, the EP Bedroom, followed a year later by Stars Too Small to Use, the band's debut record album. During the next long time, the band regularly played live on numerous occasions, including an appearance at the South by Southwest festival in 2000. Don't Fall in Love with Everyone You See, the group's minute record album, showed up in 2002, followed by Downward the River of Golden Dreams in 2003, reaffirming the band's cult all o'er the Texas music scene. The band establish success outside of their home state with 2005's Ignominious Sheep Boy and Opprobrious Sheep Boy Appendix EP, with 2007's fantabulous Stage Names widening the playing field even more.
