WNYC Soundcheck: In Studio, Okkervil River

WNYC Soundcheck
Guest Host

Okkervil River’s ambitious sixth album, “I Am Very Far,” bears the sound of band that has deliberately placed itself outside of its comfort zone. The band’s songwriter and frontman, Will Sheff, joins us to talk about the making of the album – and the stories inside its songs. Plus, he's joined by bandmate Patrick Pestorius for a live performance in our studio.
