Okkervil River Ready Album No. 5

After a storming set at this weekend's ATP Explosions in the Sky Festival, Okkervil River have settled on a date for their next full length.

On September 9th, Jagjaguwar will release 'The Stand Ins', Okkervil's fifth studio album, the follow-up to last year's 'The Stage Names'. Okkervil River will then return to the U.K in July for the Truck and Latitude Festivals, and again in November for a headline tour in support of the new album.
