2009, Jagjaguwar
As the second single from The Stand Ins, "Pop Lie" takes the meta-referential mission of Okkervil River to a new, distinctly pop level. Two additional tracks include an orphaned song from The Stage Names & The Stand Ins sessions called "Millionaire", which displays the storyteller in front man Will Sheff rising to the surface in a soaring acoustic piano-laden shuffle. Also included is an alternate, slowed down, fuzzed up version of "Pop Lie".
