- Black Sheep Boy Appendix EP
- Jagjaguwar/Sonic Unyon
- 4 / 5

What a year it's been for Okkervil River. With their breakthrough concept LP, Black Sheep Boy, they went from struggling musicians to indie stars. On this EP (or mini-album, hard to tell), eccentric singer/songwriter Will Scheff and his talented band wrap up the Black Sheep Boy story. Not content to simply throw together a fans-only EP, these seven songs aren't so much an afterthought to Black Sheep Boy as they are an integral part of it. "No Key, No Plan" is perhaps more upbeat than anything on the original Black Sheep Boy, while the frenetic "Another Radio Song" could be the best track from either release. Don't shrug the Appendix off, pick it up with haste.
