The first video to emerge from
Okkervil Rivers superb indie noir record
The Staged Names (
Jagjaguwar) is a befitting piece of film, embracing the same cinematic, storytelling touch Will Sheff has been dressing the bands music up in over all these years. A motel jam session in the middle of a crime scene, Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe was directed by
Margaret Brown, who received accolade from the likes of The New York Times for
Be Here To Love Me, a documentary on country folk singer Townes Van Zandt, released back in 05. -
David Pitz
The band is also currently out on the road in support of
The Staged Names.
