Music Mondays



Hands down, there is no creepier folk-indie band than Okkervil River. For Real, Westfall, It Ends With a Fall, Red... soft melodies with rough guitar and soul gazing vocals (can vocals gaze your soul?) create for a little spine tingling experience. Their more upbeat songs, like Our Life Is Not a Movie or Maybe and The President's Dead is more instrumental and speedy but keeps those crazy vocals. It's sort of like Interpol: no matter what the guy is singing, you're always like "this is creeping me out." Similar effect here.

Give them a shot!
