"Rest Of It" comes from the new Strand Of Oaks album 'Hard Love' (February 17 / Dead Oceans). On the highly anticipated follow up to 2014's 'HEAL', bandleader Tim Showalter is caught between his hedonistic pursuit of rock 'n' roll transcendence and the mature demands of domestic life. With help from producer Nicolas Vernhes (The War on Drugs, Spoon), 'Hard Love' harnesses Showalter's unrelenting energy and channels it into nine of the most incendiary, ambitious songs in Strand Of Oaks' discography.
Lead single "Radio Kids" was met with praise, with Stereogum calling it "the best Dinosaur Jr. song Ryan Adams never wrote" and NPR Music saying: "Just like that favorite song you've held onto for so many years, evoking memories of the past, 'Radio Kids' is the kind of song you want to listen to over and over."
