Indie rock outfit Okkervil River has released the second single and video from its forthcoming album Away. The video for “The Industry” features frontman Will Sheff as a lost astronaut navigating an unfamiliar landscape. This release follows the video debut of “Okkervil River R.I.P.,” which showed Sheff in another unlikely role – a singing cadaver.

“I wrote ‘The Industry’ quickly after getting some bad news,” says Sheff of the song, which critiques the music industry from which he felt alienated.
