Strand of Oaks: Leave Ruin (Wine Red Vinyl)
Title: Leave Ruin (Wine Red Vinyl)
Label: Western Vinyl
Product Type: VINYL LP
Leave Ruin took shape while touring and collaborating with Lou Rogai (Lewis & Clarke). Taking cues from such luminaries as Neil Young (On the Beach era) and a burgeoning Springsteen, on Leave Ruin Timonthy Showalter extends his musical gesture and searches to find modesty in the midst of confusion, addressing insecurities and settling existential debt with a simple and beautiful delivery. The personification of a Midwestern Grandfather's advice, his songs smack with hard truth and poignant severity, from child-like naivete to heart worn wisdom... sparse guitar, hammond, rhodes and wooden instruments support an atmosphere that is tender and raw, at times uncomfortable, shockingly candid, and unforgettable.
