New Okkervil River Song!

Jagjagwar just put up a brand new song from Okkervil River's Black Sheep Boy Appendix for your downloading pleasure. The new song, "No Key, No Plan", is fast rumbling number, led basically by a simple rolling bassline, and of course, singer Will Sheff's hopelessly distraught vocals. The song didn't really do much for me until I listened to it several times, and Sheff's whaling vocal climax at the end of the song finally got to me. Now I'm in love.

Here's the tracklist for Black Sheep Boy Appendix:
1. Missing Children
2. No Key, No Plan
3. A Garden
4. Black Sheep Boy #4
5. Another Radio Song
6. A Forest
7. Last Love Song for Now

And if any of you are as confused about this release as I was, Jagjaguwar has this to say. "Okkervil River's Black Sheep Boy Appendix is not just a companion piece to their critically-acclaimed 2005 release; it's also a condensed, alternate vision of that record's imagery and themes, with the ultimate intent to exhaust and destroy both. This ambitious mini-album rounds up and reworks the band's favorite unfinished songs (tracked for the Black Sheep Boy full-length) and then punctuates and bookends them in brand-new compositions; in the process, it shows songwriter Will Sheff and company both revisiting themes from their past and shooting off in some startling new directions."

Black Sheep Boy Appendix is slated for release on November 22nd and you all better go buy it. And if you haven't listened Black Sheep Boy yet, shame on you, go buy it.
