Recorded in a large concert hall just as the band was putting the finishing touches on The Stage Names (and featuring the live debuts of several of those songs), Orchestral in 2007 sees the band backed by a full string, wind and brass orchestra and backup singers and reunites Okkervil River with some of the earliest founding members to resurrect some live rarities from very early in the catalogue. Exquisitely multi-tracked by Jeff Hoskins, Okkervil River’s sound engineer at the time and the engineer on Stars Too Small to Use. Extensive liner notes include photographs and a lengthy excerpt from Will’s journals documenting the show and the completion of The Stage Names.
