New Single from Mighty Oaks
Our Song „Devil and the deep blue sea“ is a song ultimately about mutual patience and understanding and respect. I think often times in live you find yourself in a hard place where no matter what you do you can’t necessarily do the right thing. And it takes a while to figure out which path to go down. The song is about those who love you and those you love in live - that they have patience and that they wait for you to figure things out just as much as you wait for them in times of struggle.
Their last record, All Things Go, was released a year ago, and they spent February and March 2020 on tour through Europe. Then – silence. “Corona was on our heels the whole time”, singer and lyricist Ian Hooper recalls. “We had just returned from Norway and a few days later, boom, lockdown!” For Hooper, this was the perfect moment to realise his dream of finishing work on his home studio. “It was the first time since our debut album that I had the time to just write a whole lot of songs for this album”, he says. “And I feel like it sounds so much more like one album than say the last one did - or the one before that.”
Darkness and light, happiness and desperation, they go hand-in-hand on their new album ‘MEXICO', as do they in life. With MEXICO, Mighty Oaks show once more what they do best, and where they are headed. “This is the best I’ve felt about an album of ours”, Hooper says.
