Last Tuesday Will Sheff of Okkervil River stopped by NYC’s The Living Room to play some new songs as a part of his opening set for Bird Of Youth’s residency at The Living Room. One of the new songs that he played was “Lay of the Last Survivor”. Someone recorded the songs for us, and you can watch the performance below:
Even Will admits that the song is pretty depressing, but this isn’t really news for anyone, is it? It’s an impressive song nonetheless. We can only assume this is a new song for the next Okkervil River album. Hearing it is getting me excited for it. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long!
