Okkervil River @ SXSW 2011




Okkervil River fans can stop the anagram guesswork after the band confirmed the title of their seventh studio album, due out on September 3rd.

The Texans have been drip-feeding the title letter by letter during the past few days, but have now brought everything together by confirming the title will be ‘The Silver Gymnasium‘.

A lengthy run of North American headline dates and festival appearances have already been arranged in time for the album’s release, and begin with a spot at the First City Festival in California over the weekend of August 24th-25th.

Running right through into November, the long trip ends in Chicago with a show at the Metro.
