Sleep and Wake Up Songs

I decided to dedicate my first post on Power Fiesta to an EP I've been listening to all the time lately. I wouldn't go this far, but would certainly see how people cou call this Okkervil River at it's best. Certainly out of this world good compared to the current state of Will Sheff's lovechild gone horribly wrong. Sleep and Wake Up Songs is a mellow, reflective piece of art that really epitomizes great emotional indie rock for me. Sad to see O.R. turn into the current pop-rock shit show that it is now. Sheff pretends to be proud of, but I wouldn't say I've lost all hope in Okkervil River becoming great again. More drugs and putting an end to Sheff's terrible habit of adding some of the most square instrumentalists in the indie rock scene to the group could result in a return to something similar to their Black Sheep Boy heyday.
