"Your Past Life as a Blast" is the third single from I Am Very Far (JAG185) from Okkervil River. The release of this single coincides with the band's late summer tour and festival season, and will be serviced aggressively to Radio and Press.

"The goal was to push my brain to places it didn't want to go. The idea was to not have any idea- to keep myself confused about what I was doing," frontman Will Sheff says about Okkervil River's newest album.

The resulting record, I AmVery Far, is a startling break from anything this band has done before.

By turns terrifying and joyous, violent and serene, grotesque and romantic, it's a celebration of forces beyond our control.
