Shaking Through: Strand of Oaks from Weathervane Music on Vimeo . in my opinion, which i am sure isnt worth much, timothy showalter and his strand of oaks is one of the bands that could help transform and shape the musical landscape over the next 5-10 years. i already think he's in the process, but again thats just me. the guy is a such a huge talent that it pains me that there arent more people listening to him. or maybe there are, and i just dont know about? either way here is recording [...]
Shaking Through : Strand of Oaks Beautiful beards! Smooth synths! The newest recording session produced by Chris Ward of Pattern is Movement worth every mellow moment. Get the single here: Spacestat ions by Strand of Oaks
Strand of Oaks aka Timothy Showalter recorded a new song with the folks at Shaking Through in Philadelphia. It's a simple song with a big sound, building on the wall of synths Showalter was developing on Pope Killdragon . In fact, there's no guitar whatsoever on "Spacestations," which features Shaking Through's guest curator Chris Ward (Pattern is Movement) on drums and Eliza Jones (Buried Bed) on vocals and keys. Shaking Through is a partnership of Weathervane Music and WXPN. Here's the premise: Shaking [...]
Philadelphia singer-songwriter Timothy Showalter AKA Strand Of Oaks is this month's Shaking Through artist. The new episode was curated by Chris Ward of the band Pattern is Movement and Johnny Brenda's and features Ward and Eliza Jones of Buried Beds. The session was produced by Brian McTear and engineered by Jonathan Low at Miner Street studios in Fishtown. After quitting his job teaching second graders, Showalter pursued music and released the first two Strand of Oaks records Leave Ruin and 2010"s fantastic Pope Killdragon an album of imaginative storytelling and haunting indie-folk.

Illustration of Timothy Showalter of Strand Of Oaks by Johnnie Cluney for www.daytrotter.com At the turn of the New Year, the folks at NPR Music contacted WXPN and asked us to pick the "next big band to break out of Philly." Other stations, like The Current in Minneapolis, KUT in Austin, Seattle's KEXP, OPB (Oregon Public Radio), two New York stations (including WFUV at Fordham University and WNYC), and KCRW in Los Angeles were also approached. We were each challenged with the same job: pick one band, one song, and write three or four [...]
BAM! Bet you were expecting a Best of 2011 list, yeah? Well I don't got time for that (YET)! No...this is where I acknowledge all the great stuff I missed in 2010. 'Cause it doesn't get any more rock n roll than to talk about shit that's over a year old. Write that down in your How to Be Rock N Roll notebooks. Anyway, the last time I wrote this list , I spent quite a while talking about how there isn't enough time in one year to listen to all the potentially great releases and put [...]

It's the always eerie night before Thanksgiving and I'm already seeing double. This time we cannot blame the Wild Turkey. San Francisco's Ian Fays include twins Lizz and Sara, older sister Lena (on triangle, tambourine and more!), Lizz's husband on drums plus "a friend" on bass. It is, as they announce, "a family affair". Lizz and Sara don't appear to be identical twins, but in their matching outfits it's still quite a spectacle. There is something incredibly powerful about sibling bands. From the Jackson 5 to the Strange Boys, The Brothers Johnson to the [...]

Frank Yang So, let's see. Crooked Fingers were just here back in July - yeah, covered that . Oh, but in the interim, they also released a new album in Breaks In The Armor ; covered that too . So was there really anything new to report out of Tuesday night's show at the Drake Underground? Actually, yes. To begin with there was opener Strand Of Oaks , who definitely merit discussion. I'd been familiar with the project of Pennsylvania singer-songwriter Tim [...]
We've been looking forward to our show with Crooked Fingers for a couple of months now, especially after the release of its fantastic full-length Breaks in the Armor via Merge last month. After chatting with frontman Eric Bachmann a couple of weeks ago , its clear the project is catching a really positive wave right now with the new record and a solid fall tour. In honor of the upcoming show at Cameo on 11/5, we're giving away a vinyl copy of Breaks in the Armor and a [...]

Muzzle of BeesI caught Wilco's Austin City Limits taping last night. Some of my Instagram pics here and here . Was a great set that had them digging back into their catalog as much as they gave attention to their new album, The Whole Love . The highlight of the night was Nick Lowe's guest appearance for an collaborative jam on his own " Cruel To Be Kind " to close out the evening. Heartless Bastards will release their new album, Arrow [...]
