Hearts of Oak's third release, New England brings the band to an exciting new electric sound. Featuring the songs of Nate Wallace, the band has taken the sound in a more Crazy Horse / Velvet Underground direction...psychedelic fans rejoice! When asked if there’s a general theme or message running throughout this album, Nate says “Love, loss and longing, but that theme has been running through everything I’ve ever written.” A standout example of this is a line from the song "Lovers Ain’t Easy," where he sings “I think about you when I’m all alone, that’s how I pray.” Nate grew up in a log cabin deep in the woods of New England--Maine to be exact--and moved to the West Coast after high school to "escape his demons," as he puts it. New England is also available on 180 gram vinyl.
