Okkervil River are currently on tour with Titus Andronicus and Future Islands in support of their recently released album I Am Very Far. The tour hits NYC on June 7 at Terminal 5. Tickets are still available, and you can win a pair on our Facebook. If you can’t wait that long, they’re also at Toad’s Place in CT Saturday night, AND you can watch them play live from Philly at noon TODAY (6/3) courtesy of NPR.com.

I Am Very Far is available now as a CD and Double LP at Okkervil River’s online store. The band have also released a hardcover lyrics book. If you haven’t heard it yet, we’ve got a legal download of the track “Rider” off the album. Grab it above. It’s the same song they played on Letterman in May.
