With a sound that touches upon both alt-country and artful indie-rock, GLAD 
HEARTS have crafted an album that wouldn’t seem out of place on the CD shelves of fans of NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL or Cassadaga-era BRIGHT EYES.
The band delivers fragile, summery folk hymns that quiver with equal parts indie rock sensitivity and dusty, booksmart poetry. Simultaneously, singer-songwriter Ryan Bing dumpster dives through the darkest moments of life – both his and others – and lays out his findings for all to see. However, what he's mining for isn't cheap tragedy, but hope.
Lending their talents to the album is a veritable who's-who of indie engineers, producers and mixers, such as Grammy Award winner Matt Shane (FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS), Chris Moore (TV ON THE RADIO, YEAH YEAH YEAHS, SCARLETT JOHANSSON), Michael White (TALKING HEADS, DAVID BYRNE, DAVID BOWIE) and John Schmersal (ENON, BRANIAC). Adding to the nuance of the songs is a grab bag of instruments that includes guitar, mandolin, bass, keys, drums, piano, organ, banjo, accordion, saw, drums, trumpet and bottles. The result is a communal back-porch party for the inner English major in all of us. The Oak and the Acorn is something quiet, seemingly plaintive and intensely personal, yet ultimately joyful and something to be shared, over fine china, paper plates or marshmallows on a stick.
The band has been making waves throughout its home region and is poised to break out on a national level by combining heartfelt and honest songwriting, an earnest DIY work ethic and a serious case of wanderlust. GLAD HEARTS' house tour lasts from last week until the end of time
