Will Sheff writes real good
Ishotdanieljohnston:
I stumbled upon this collection of his critical writing- http://www.jound.com/will/articles.html
TheFuriousWombat:
Very cool. I didn't even know this stuff existed. I'm working my way through the records reviews at the moment, soon to move onto film. Thanks!
MusicScribbles:
I never knew Will Sheff had it in him. These are good reads, thanks lots.
Inlander:
Let me preface this by saying I love Okkervil River - but, I've read the soft-rock one before and I have to say, I find it very peculiar that Sheff should choose to target so many singers and song-writers for the (perceived) misogyny in their songs, when, to be honest, I find the extreme physical and emotional violence against women that manifests itself in several Okkervil River songs to be rather disturbing.

Outside of "Westfall" I don't think we're on the same page on this one. Even then, Sheff writes characters for the most part. I wouldn't argue that Nabokov was a sociopath just because Humbert Humbert is.

No, you're not. They're one of the best bands currently operating.
