Strand of Oaks announce new album & tour (listen to "Galacticana")

Tim Showalter is back with a new Strand of Oaks album, In Heaven, that’s due out October 1 via Galacticana. He made the album last fall with Kevin Ratterman, who also plays drums, and In Heaven also features My Morning Jacket‘s Carl Broemel  and Bo Koster, and Smashing PumpkinsJames Iha plays guitar and sings on “Easter.”

“In Heaven was created with so much love and my greatest hope is that it connects with people and provides a momentary space for reflection, joy, catharsis and whatever else someone might be looking for in their life,” says Showalter. “Music is magic and I feel like the luckiest person in the world that I’m allowed to share it.”

The first single is the soaring “Galacticana,” and you can listen to that below.

Tim will also take Strand of Oaks on tour this fall, and stops include Boston, Philadelphia, Brooklyn (10/18), Detroit, Indianapolis, Denver, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Dallas, Austin, Atlanta, Nashville and more. Full tour details are still TBA but you can check out the list of dates and cities below.
