I've got a feeling that when Sheff and the rest of Okkervil River assume their proper place at the top of the indie rock feeding chain that it's as likely as not that there will be some bare rumps and rough mornings.
Okkervil River's current live set is all steadily building peaks and crescendos balancing precariously at their high points, dragged out, sustained, pushed, into a gleefully head bobbing zone that can get even the most jaded scenester smiling.
Okkervil River is probably a long way away from the kind of rock 'n' roll debauchery made famous by others.
