Okkervil River
Wednesday, September 14
Okkervil River,
Wye Oak
40 Watt Club
"STOP MAKING BRILLIANT
MUSIC, DAMNIT!!!! Too much
of my ego depends on the
obscurity of my favorite
things," laments a cyber
voice in the YouTube com
ments under a music video
from Austin-based, poetic
folk-rock outfit Okkervil River.
The poster uses a privacy-preserving screen name because it's best to be a little arrogant
anonymously, but we can all agree with the sentiment, no?
Flagpole was trolling YouTube because Okkervil River makes great music videos. The
feverish pace of "Wake and Be Fine," from recent release I Am Very Far (Jaqjaguwar),
captures the band's two drummers, two pianists and everybody else during a frenzied
jam session in front of a green-screen flashing frontman Will Sheffs rapid-fire lyrics. The
video for "Ends with a Fall" makes great use of mannequins in cubicles, and the vintage
cathode ray tube TV heads in "Lost Coastlines" serve as the measuring stick for indie-rock
robots everywhere.
"I'm a big film fan, so I guess I have really high standards—or I like to think that I
have high standards for videos," shares Sheff via cell phone, recently repatriated after
a brief tour in Europe, during which he refused to allow his body to acclimate itself to
the clock, insisting on remaining Central Standard. "Every single one has been a major
attempt at doing something that's ever so slightly out of our grasp," he admits.
Sheff is very hands on: operating the camera himself early on, but the production pro
cess generally means collaboration with creative personalities, for better or worse. "I've
come around to the belief that I need to always be really, really ciosely involved. On this
last one, I kind of didn't do that, and it didn't go the way that I'd hope. So, I'm pretty
much a looming and potentially annoying figure to the director," he laughs. The "last
one" Sheff refers to is the yet-to-be-released video for the band's latest single, "Your
Past Life as a Blast," a dreamy post-disco tour de force. If it's five-and-a-half minutes of
hipsters doing the hustle, we're OK with that. [David Eduardo]
