Will Sheff has always written like someone taking inventory of everything that matters, and the years since Okkervil River's peak have only sharpened that instinct. Where most song writers pull back as catalogs grow, Sheff keeps leaning in, finding new ways to make deeply personal work feel communal. Extra Mile is the sound of that rare thing: an artist fully at ease with his own voice. Over the course of his career, Will Sheff has released ten albums that have given the front man of esteemed indie rock band Okkervil River a reputation as one of the greatest working songwriters in the country. As Sheff and his shifting lineup of players have traveled the world many times over, they've made fans ranging from Lou Reed to Barack Obama. Praised as "One of indie rock's most ambitious thinkers" (Pitchfork), Sheff released his debut solo album 'Nothing Special' in 2022 to critical acclaim from The New Yorker, NPR, Uncut, Pitchfork and more... with The New York Times saying it "Harnesses both the glow of poetry and the gravity of hymns." Extra Mile follows in the path of Nothing Special - patient and alive and breathing and musical. With collaborations and contributions from friends and musicians like Griff Goldsmith of Dawes, Zac Rae of Death Cab, Peter Silberman of The Antlers, A.C. Newman, Jenn Wasner, and Christian Lee Hutson, it's an album about what it feels like to be a soul in a body.
