Okkervil River – Solo Demos for The Stage Names

A bonus disc from the album’s release that features a solo demo of all nine songs on the album.

This record dynamites the moss-covered castle walls of 2005’s "Black Sheep Boy" to let in the glaring sun. Riddled with characters real and fake, with the relics of high culture and the crumpled up trash of low culture, "The Stage Names" is a cinemascopic take on the meaning of entertainment in the modern world. Reverberant with echoes of Motown snap and girl group pop, redolent with ripe whiffs of dirty rock ‘n’ roll, shining with the shimmy of Bo Diddley, with the shimmer of the Velvets, with the swagger of the Faces, and with a glittery sprinkling of cheap perfume to disguise the stink, "The Stage Names" is a relentlessly paced and ruthlessly thrilling journey.

The double CD deluxe edition contains solo demos of each of the songs from the proper album and is limited to only 1500 copies.
