The second Golden Opportunities mixtape is out now and it is totally free over at Okkervil River’s website.
Like its predecessor, Golden Opportunities 2 is a series of conceptually-related covers, this time by lesser-known musicians’ musicians such as Motown session player Ted Lucas, the 1980’s Australian band the Triffids, and the mysterious L.A. singer-songwriter Jim Sullivan, who vanished in the New Mexico desert in 1975. Golden Opportunities was recorded entirely live to two-track tape in one day at the Austin studio Premium Recording.
