A conceptual sequel to The Hot Tub Tapes that picks up right where Wren Among the Pornographers left off, From the Christel Corner is a treasure chest of of soundboard tapes curated by longtime Okkervil River fan Christel Adina Loar, documenting two whirlwind years of touring in the wake of The Stand Ins. The liner notes represent a departure from previous volumes in that Christel takes over, documenting her entry into the Okkervil orbit around 2006 and weaving through her heartfelt and insightful observations about being on the other side of the band-audience exchange. If all that wasn’t enough, there’s also a killer ABBA cover thrown in there.
