Mighty Oaks are back with a new album and a fast-selling tour after nearly two years apart. The new album High Times is a collection of 12 reduced, authentic, intimate acoustic songs, recorded almost entirely live amidst the brick and wood of Ian’s living room in Berlin. “We basically moved my studio upstairs for a couple weeks and tracked everything as raw and honest as we could” says Ian. “We wanted the listener to feel like they are there with us in the room while they hear this album” says Craig. “It has nothing to do with perfection, and everything to do with being real and honest in the moment.”
Common themes of love and friendship, of life and longing flow through the album, packed into compact stories that leave the listener swept away in a dream, removed from the daily life, just as music should do. The band will release their fifth full-length album this September, and is set to hit the road for six weeks shortly thereafter.
