The Stand Ins is the fifth full-length studio album by American indie rock band Okkervil River, released on September 9, 2008.[3] 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.[3] The album charted at #42 with 11,000 copies sold, according to the Billboard 200.[4]
Shearwater's Jonathan Meiburg and guitarist Charles Bissell of The Wrens contributed to the album.[3]
