Okkervil River
In The Rainbow Rain
ato records
In place of ‘Away’’s sombre strings and acoustic textures, 'In the Rainbow Rain' is full of dazzling colour, spattered with starbursts of electric guitar, big blooms of synth, and a chorus of backing vocals.
a brilliantly startling left turn from their critically-lauded and introspective 2016 album, crafting an exuberant declaration of hope. It’s a buoyant and playful record, but also open and emotionally vulnerable. if you enjoyed the expanded instrumental pallete of the decemberists’ ‘I’ll be your girl’ or the jaunty folk of conor oberst’s ‘salutations’, there’s plenty to love here. “quaker worship, micro-psychedelics and a wish to reject the trump malaise have led to this hopeful new beginning” – uncut.
