'Darker Shores' EP is a 5 track 12" of alternate versions of songs from the 'Dark Shores' album. It's full of lots of '80s synths work, especially on the title track, which with it's layered synth sound and ambient vocals. All of the songs the Strand of Oaks writes are based on true stories.  Lovers get divorced, murder John Belushi's drug dealer, go bowling with mythical giants, watch their youth slip away and commune with John F. Kennedy's illegitimate son.
