We’re so excited about The Silver Gymnasium. I know people always say “this is our favorite record” and to an extent maybe I always feel that but…this one is different for me actually. Like, I actually am still listening to it – I actually put it on for fun, which never ever happens for me. Usually I’m self-critical and I get sick of something I did pretty much immediately after it’s done, and for this one I don’t feel that. From the first day of these recording sessions the band was so excited to play these songs, and we are a million times more excited to play them live for you guys.
The record was largely recorded live – we really wanted to do the “what you hear is what we played” thing, and I think that’s going to make these live shows really special and fun. And I’m hoping to play Okkervil songs we haven’t done in a very, very long time. I can’t wait to see you guys again at these shows and I can’t wait for you to hear where the band is at now because they are all very amazing and I love them deeply.
