Okkervil River’s Will Sheff will embark on a solo co-headlining tour with Damien Jurado this fall.

Revealed today, the trek will kick off with a pair of performances inside Evanston’s SPACE on September 21 and September 22. The trek will proceed to cities such as Ann Arbor, Nashville, and Portland before concluding at Bellingham’s Wild Buffalo on December 11.

Pre-sale tickets for these newly announced shows, which can be seen below, are on sale right now. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday (May 14) at 10 a.m. local time.

Okkervil River have also unveiled their first piece of music since 2018’s In the Rainbow Rain titled “In A Light.” On Friday, the band will release another single titled “It Hasn’t Happened Yet.” Sheff said this about the new song, which can be heard below:

“I wrote ‘In a Light’ with our guitarist Will Graefe right before I moved out of Brooklyn. We recorded it in one take at Figure 8 studios, with Frank LoCrasto adding piano and Ryan Dugre on second guitar. It sounded great instantly, but it didn't seem like the right moment to release the track, and the track didn't seem to be quite at home on In the Rainbow Rain. So I kept it under my hat. I'd had ‘It Hasn't Happened Yet’ kicking around as well, and I'd always wanted to release that one on its own but I could never get the recording to sit quite right. Finally I had a tandem eureka moment with both of them - I figured out what I needed to do to fix ‘It Hasn't Happened Yet’ and I felt the time was right for ‘In a Light.’ So I brushed them off and sent them to Dave Cerminara to mix. The whole process was incredibly smooth and easy. I think of these songs as two sides of the same coin, supporting each other by saying two different but complementary things. And even though I started them a couple years in the past they both seem to want to talk about the present and future.”

This Friday, Damien Jurado will release their new studio album The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania on Maraqopa Records.
