Roxy Erickson Returns this Week with Celebrated New Album
Posted 04/20/2010 04:06:00 by i am vans
Produced by Will Sheff, and backed by his talented band Okkervil River, True Love Cast Out All Evil features 12 songs written throughout Erickson's harrowing struggles and sonically enhanced by archival recordings from home videos and recordings made during Erickson's confinement to the Rusk State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. The end result is an anything but sorrowful affair, with Erickson and Sheff interjecting the dramatic compositions with a sense of hope and grace that transcends genre to create a timeless and affecting document of one artist's unlikeliest of resurrections.
