Okkervil River put "Lost Coastlines" on The Stand Ins, their fifth full-length album, released September 9, 2008. That record was never really meant to stand on its own: it's the back half of The Stage Names, the double album the band had planned, and the sleeves make the point, since setting the earlier cover above this one completes a single picture.
Brian Beattie produced the song with the band and added percussion, and Justin Sherburn plays the piano. The album around it also pulled in a couple of players from other bands, Shearwater's Jonathan Meiburg and Charles Bissell, the guitarist from the Wrens.
