Okkervil River & Ida Maria

The year is a month old and I was starting to wonder where my next musical obsession was going to come from. There seem to be a lot of very average indie bands around at the moment, and most of the bands being shouted about in the media are struggling to live up to the hype.

Luckily my mp3 player did some fine randomising and reminded me of two great bands.

Okkervil River are a dark indie-folk-rock band from Austin, Texas.
