Okkervil River

Wren Among the Pornographers, 2008 (a la carte)

$10.00
Wren Among the Pornographers, 2008 (MP3).zip

This show fell during a legendary co-headlining tour that Okkervil River did with The New Pornographers in 2008 and it is maybe the definitive mid-period Okkervil River concert recording, a frenetic ripper of a set with scarcely time to breathe and with ornate guitar contributions from Charles Bissell of The Wrens, who was a member of the band at that time. The only existing live recording with Bissell in the band, Wren among the Pornographers was multi-tracked by Phil Palazzolo, the New Pornographers’ soundman, fresh off producing that band’s album Challengers. Phil would go on to work in some capacity on every Okkervil River project from 2008 until today. Liner notes include a lengthy back-and-forth interview between Will and Bissell, A.C. Newman, Palazzolo, The Stage Names co-producer Brian Beattie, and longtime Okkervil bassist Patrick Pestorius.
