Beginning 6 p.m. CT / 7 p.m. ET tonight, NPR Music will stream the performance as the band rolls through all 11 tracks from the record during a show at Austin, TX’s The Cactus Cafe. Afterward, KUT-FM will broadcast the show and place the video up at NPR Music’s website. Then, if a case of Okkervil River over-saturation hasn’t set in yet, head here to order I Am Very Far: The Lyrics, a hardbound lyrics book that serves as an “entrance to the band’s music” (doesn’t the music facilitate that on its own?).

From the gig in Austin, the band has a busy summer ahead of them with a slew of scheduled shows. Check out the entire schedule below. I Am Very Far hits stores May 10th via Jagjaguwar.
