Austin-based indie folks Okkervil River, fronted by the lexically-loose Will Sheff, have been snapped up on this side o' the pond by Virgin/EMI. The megabucked label will re-release the band's really-quite-great album, Black Sheep Boy, like, soon.
Pretty soon, actually, as in next Monday soon, if the release date I have here is correct. The re-release is a double-disc effort, with disc two housing an appendix EP featuring 'The Next Four Years' and some videos for the singles 'For Real' and 'It Ends With A Fall'.
What's more, they tour!
