With the impending release of his fourth album Heal (Dead Oceans), due out June 24, Strand of Oaks, a.k.a. Timothy Showalter, just shared a new single “Shut In,” via Spin. The song is steered into place by pace-setting percussion and keys before Showalter’s aching confession-style vocals come to the forefront with emotions shifting from sadness to exasperation as he seemingly is on the way to conquering his demons by the song’s conclusion.
