"The Stand Ins" is the fifth full-length studio album by American indie rock band Okkervil River, released on September 9, 2008. [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/50979-okkervil-river-reveal-full-details-of-ithe-stand-insi Okkervil River Reveal Full Details of The Stand Ins] (Pitchfork Media)] The album is the second half of "The Stage Names", a planned double album. The title comes from the term 'stand-in', a person who substitutes for the actor before filming for technical purposes. If the cover art for "The Stage Names" is placed above that of "The Stand-Ins", a complete picture is formed. The album charted at #42 with 11,000 copies sold, according to the Billboard 200.
