"Stay Young" turned up at the end of August 2013, days ahead of The Silver Gymnasium, Okkervil River's seventh album and their first on ATO rather than Jagjaguwar. John Agnello produced and mixed it, Brian Cassidy plays electric guitar with Clinton Newman adding more, and Jonathan Meiburg sings backup, with Matt LeMay chipping in extra backing vocals.
It's a fitting title for the record around it. Will Sheff built The Silver Gymnasium as a concept album set in his hometown of Meriden, New Hampshire, in 1986, a salute to the spirit of pre-adolescence, and even named it after the gymnasium at Kimball Union Academy, the boarding school he attended. The band teased it out that June by revealing the title on their website one letter at a time.
