#4: Black Sheep Boy

Okkervil River: Black Sheep Boy
Will Sheff, lead man of Okkervil River, is indebted to many people, but one is certainly Jeff Mangum of indie rock legend Neutral Milk Hotel. After hanging around for a while, the creation of Black Sheep Boy, a concept album that has obviously been pored over and had heart poured into, dictates that the indie rock world is now indebted to Will Sheff and company. Future like-minded artists will revere him as they did Neutral Milk Hotel. And, in this way, the universe creates itself anew.
