Overboard and Down

Okkervil River release an exclusive NZ / Australian tour EP which features previously unreleased material and shapes a Polaroid snapshot of them just working off the cuff!

Featuring a cover of Big Star's "O, Dana" [a line from which is the source of the EP's title], as well as a live recording of "Westfall" [taken from the band's first album 'Don't Fall In Love With Everyone You See'], the 'Overboard and Down' EP is Okkervil River at its most carefree - without sacrificing the rawness and enthusiasm of its previous recordings.

"Sheff has a real gift for words, and gets at the precise emotional core of his songs with beautiful, unexpected metaphors and deft phrasing, and a surprisingly effective lack of rhyme.”
- Rolling Stone

"Sheff delivers his vocals in a sort of ramshackle way, stumbling through cracks and phlegm as he strikes his words, singing it all with his familiar southern bent and a universal appeal.”
- Sadness Is In The Sky

"Black Sheep Boy is ambitious and cinematic, yet comforting and oh so confident.”
