This song is actually quite a mystery. It's pretty much agreed that the singer is Will Sheff, lead singer of Okkervil River, and a simple google search credits the song to Okkervil River everywhere.
However, it's never appeared on any Okkervil River release. And in a Message Board used by the Okkervil River website, http://www.jound.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=189 the band's former bassist Zach said it was absolutely NOT an Okkervil river song.
So either it was Will Sheff singing with a different band (eg Shearwater) or a solo track he recorded on his own.
