mp3 Okkervil River – “Wake and Be Fine”

“Wake and Be Fine” is the first sampling that we’re getting from the upcoming album I Am Very Far. Okkervil River debuted this track on Jimmy Fallon in January but the studio version is fantastic. The driving rhythm makes it an instant hit and in my opinion this might be some of the greatest stuff that they’ve written. Just try not to swing your head back and forth. Go on, I dare ya.

Lyrics for the track can be found here.
