Okkervil River detail new LP In The Rainbow Rain and share lead single "Don't Move Back To LA"
Okkervil River are back with new single "Don't Move Back To LA", the first taste of upcoming record In The Rainbow Rain.
The album comes just a year and a bit on from 2016's Away, and sees Will Sheff & Co. veer into vibrant, classic pop and pumped-up Americana. It's produced by Sheff with Shawn Everett (Perfume Genius, The War On Drugs) on mixing duties.
"I wanted to make a record where a sense of kindness felt encoded into the music," explains Sheff. "In places, the record deals with heavy things like trauma and betrayal and shame, but, actually, it’s supposed to be a good time. I hope it’s something fun, that makes people feel happier."
Okkervil River are set to head out on tour later this year, with a headline show at London's KOKO set for 10 October. Find out more.
