While legendary psychedelic rock singer Roky Erickson and Okkervil River’s Will Sheff await the release of their forthcoming album (Erickson’s first in over a decade), True Love Cast Out All Evil, the pair filmed two videos to promote this epic project in the meantime: A visit to an Austin, TX toy store and the above Q&A.
It’s great to see Will Sheff slide so comfortably into the role of music journalist, though that’s not surprising, as he has worked in that profession previously. Not to mention watching Erickson recount his earlier days in rock while in such apparent positive spirits and health is the real treat of course.
