So, to celebrate the happy occasion, we’ve whipped up some exclusive holiday merch, including the first Okkervil River cassette release in five years. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA big hit on the Will Sheff Patreon earlier this year, the full-length album \u003cem\u003eLike a Solid Ghos\u003c\/em\u003et is a “de-imagining” of \u003cem\u003eThe Silver Gymnasium\u003c\/em\u003e, featuring every song from the original 2013 release reconfigured and reconstructed from radically different demos, early versions, bonus materials and rehearsal tapes. At the suggestion of Okkervil River fans, we’ve decided to issue it in an exclusive limited-edition cassette run. To pair with this cassette release, we’ve brought back the popular vintage “station wagon” tour shirt design from the 2013 Silver Gymnasium tour and are issuing it as a cozy commemorative sweatshirt. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause\u003cem\u003e Down the River of Golden Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e was the second Okkervil River album and made in much leaner times, a tour tee-shirt was never made for this release, so we’ve also decided to rectify that a couple of decades late by printing William Schaff’s octopus-man cover design (the full image, not the crop from the album cover) on a commemorative tee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe’ll also have a limited stock of another vintage design, 2004’s brown-and-red lion design, originally featured in the artwork for \u003cem\u003eSleep and Wake-Up Songs\u003c\/em\u003e and modified into a t-shirt design by Ryan Nole of Kangaroo Press. This was our best-selling shirt for several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Was My Season (Crystal Snifter Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn A Balcony (Crystal Snifter Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown Down The Deep River (Re-written Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePink-Slips (Catskills Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLido Pier Suicide Car (Monstrosity Loft Band Rehearsal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere The Spirit Left Us (First Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite (Video Game Remix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStay Young (Lovestreams Remix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalking Without Frankie (Crystal Snifter Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll The Time Every Day (Church House Band Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Nemo (Crystal Snifter Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"okkervilriver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52905034645615,"sku":"LikeaaSolidGhostCassette","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/2723\/4159\/files\/silver-gym-cassette.jpg?v=1775508716","url":"https:\/\/shop.portmerch.com\/products\/like-a-solidghost-the-silver-gymnasiym-de-imagined-cassette","provider":"Port Merchandise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
