free Okkervil River "Golden Opportunities" EP

Merry Xmas from Okkervil River....

Okkervil River EP

Golden Opportunities, an album of covers, is available now for free from this website. We recorded these songs at radio stations, at shows, in peoples' apartments, in hotel stairways. They were done here and there all around the United States and Europe, with the eventual intention of being rounded up in this collection. You can download artwork for the album from this site for making a physical copy of the CD packaging.

The "interview" for this release is currently being conducted - anyone who has questions for the band should send them to mixtape@okkervilriver.com . On Friday, a selection of the questions will be posted on this site.

We hope everyone has a good holiday season.

Did Okkervil River put out the best album of the year? I don't think so - well, I mean it just wasn't my favorite - no matter how hard I tried to understand. "Golden Opportunities" tracklist below...

Nay, they did not put out this years best album. But it is on my top ten list this year. It has a few weak numbers, but some really strong ones as well. The free EP is kind of sweet... and kind of weak. But hey kids; what did you expect for free? Radiohead?
