Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy (2005)

Photobucket

The past few weeks for me can only truly be defined by one thing - Okkervil River. In the indie-folk state I am currently in, the discovery of Okkervil River hit me twice as hard. Black Sheep Boy (the band's 3rd album), as well as their 4th and 5th albums The Stage Names and The Stand Ins, respectively, are all masterpieces in the genre. Honestly, just listen and enjoy. I haven't truly enjoyed a rock album like this for a long time.

Genres: Indie rock, indie folk, alternative rock
