strand of oaks

a true sonic journey Jumping even further into Timothy Showalter's love of vintage synthesizers & soundscapes which are used to mine the epic potential of each song.

This is not meant to replace 'Dark Shores', but rather enhance the overall experience. "This summer, somewhere near El Paso, I was having morning coffee with my friend & tourmate Kristian.  As so often happens on tour, we were sharing music & I played him an entirely different version of 'Dark Shores'. I was fine with this version of the songs existing only among friends, but through our discussion & Kristian’s encouragement, we have brought this record to life. If you’ve ever seen a Strand of Oaks live show, you know that I’m continually changing & evolving the songs. That same philosophy applies to these songs" - timothy
