Okkervill River's The Stage Names
Okkervil River's fourth full length album The Stage Names, will be released by Jagjaguwar on August 7. In contrast to 2005's Black Sheep Boy, Okkervil River look to the modern and bring in the sun on The Stage Names. Riddled with characters real and fake, with true-life biography and brazenly fabricated autobiography, with the relics of high culture and the crumpled-up trash of low culture, The Stage Names is a cinemascopic take on the meaning of entertainment.

1. Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe
2. Unless It's Kicks
3. A Hand to Take Hold of the Scene
4. Savannah Smiles
5. Plus Ones
6. A Girl in Port
7. You Can't Hold the Hand of a Rock and Roll Man
8. Title Track
9. John Allyn Smith Sails
