Okkervil River’s Will Sheff talks to CHARTattack’s Noah Love about the band’s new album, The Stand Ins. An interesting discussion of Okkervil River’s biographical songwriting in “John Allyn Smith Sails,” including the songs links to The Beach Boys’ “Sloop John B” and, yes, The Hold Steady. Okkervil River frontman Will Sheff explains “Bruce Wayne Campbell Interviewed on the Roof of the Chelsea Hotel, 1979,” from the Austin,TX crew’s just-released album, ‘The Stand Ins’. The Stand Ins will still amicably get stuck in your head and you can easily tap your foot and hum along. As Sheff goes to such lengths to point out, music is only entertainment, after all.
