P: "Pop Lie," Okkervil River

From the album The Stand-Ins

DJ comments: I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole album, which was released on September 9. Some of my friends who are huge OR fans claim it's "too poppy" and disconnects "from their original sound." "Pop Lie" seemed like an appropriate title for such claims.

If you're skeptical, check out one of the Pitchfork articles discussing this release or go to the album's Amazon page. If you like it, there are a TON of opportunities to see OR in the Midwest this fall. — BJ
