Away is the eighth studio album from Texas band, Okkervil River.
It represents a turning point for Will Sheff, the band songwriter, who wrote the album during a time of loss and change in his life.
Sheff worked with an almost entirely new cast of musicians for this album, most of them coming from the jazz and avant-garde world, including members of yMusic, keyboardists Jared Samuel (Yoko Ono) and Brian Donohoe (Snarky Puppy) and arranger Nathan Thatcher (Nico Muhly, Kronos Quartet), among others.
From Will Sheff:
"I think this record was me taking my life back to zero and starting to add it all back up again, one plus one plus one. Any part that didn't feel like it added up I left out. Weirdly, it was the easiest and most natural record I've ever made. More than any time in my life before, I felt guided by intuition - like I was going with the grain, walking in the direction the wind was blowing. The closer it got to being finished, the more the confusion I'd felt at the start went away. It's not really an Okkervil River album and it's also my favourite Okkervil River album."
