Our Take

STRAND OF OAKS, the enigmatic indie project led by the charismatic Timothy Showalter, has returned with their latest offering, Darker Shores. Showalter, known for his introspective lyrics and expansive soundscapes, takes listeners on a journey through the depths of his soul in this hauntingly beautiful album.

From the opening track, "Hollow Moon," Showalter's rich vocals weave a tapestry of emotion that captivates the listener from start to finish. The atmospheric production, reminiscent of early Radiohead, creates a sense of unease that perfectly complements the dark themes explored in the lyrics.

Standout tracks such as "Eraserhead" and "Black Eye" showcase Showalter's ability to blend introspective folk with anthemic rock, creating a sound that is truly unique to STRAND OF OAKS. The use of intricate guitar work and emotive piano melodies adds depth to the already rich tapestry of sounds present throughout the album.

Dark, brooding, and utterly captivating, Darker Shores is a triumph for STRAND OF OAKS. Showalter's ability to draw listeners in with his honest lyricism and ethereal soundscapes sets him apart as a true musical storyteller. This album is a must-listen for fans of indie rock looking for something truly special.
