Hearts of Oak
New England
Review by Gary Hill
This act has been described as “shoegazer country.” I can’t argue with that. Let’s say, though, that the sound varies quite a bit from track to track and some of it is nearly pure country music. This is an intriguing set. The biggest issue with it is the vocals which are a little hard to take sometimes. Still, it’s part of the charm, I think.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2014 Volume 5 at lulu.com/strangesound.
