Indie Musician's 2024 Album on Vinyl LP!
A Joyful Soundscape Influenced by Ram Dass, Freddie Mercury, Alice Coltrane & Beastie Boys!
Strand of Oaks returns with a vibrant new chapter, Miracle Focus. This album marks a bold departure from Timothy Showalter's previous introspective work, embracing a sound that's uplifting, diverse, and deeply personal.
Tim spent three years crafting Miracle Focus, a period that saw him explore new creative avenues through painting and acting. This artistic expansion fueled a journey of liberation, and a fresh approach to songwriting.
Gone are the days of grappling with trauma, replaced by a desire to "make people feel good." Influences like Ram Dass, yoga, Freddie Mercury, Alice Coltrane, and the Beastie Boys weave through the album, creating a joyful soundscape rich with synth layers and mantra-like lyrics.
Miracle Focus is a collaborative effort, with producer Kevin Ratterman (Ray LaMontagne, Heartless Bastards, Joan Shelley) returning as a key partner. Together, they achieved a seamless creative flow in the studio, further invigorated by the presence of Lacey Guthrie on vocals.
The album title, Miracle Focus, embodies the collective energy that emerges when individuals come together with purpose and passion. It's a celebration of bliss and the simple beauty of existence.
