I Am Oak

Over the years I Am Oaks discography, starting with debut album On Claws back in 2010, has grown into a collection of six studio albums, a live album, two EPs and a couple of stand-alone singles in between. After the release of full length Osmosis in the fall of last year, 2020 should have been a year of European tours and trips to other continents, but then a certain pandemic made sure all the original plans for 2020 were off the table. Thijs Kuijken had to spend his days, just like everybody else, confined at home. This didnt make him any less productive: "During the March 2020 quarantine period, I recorded a video of me playing one of my songs live to share on the internet in lieu of actual live shows. This quickly turned into a daily exercise which lasted 50 days, resulting in 50 recorded songs" thus Kuijken himself. What made these 50 songs extra special is that most of them were unique and new versions of existing songs. There were even some songs he had never played live before.'Odd Seeds' is a selection of 26 of these 50 songs, all of which are reinterpretations of songs from the I Am Oak back catalogue, ranging from before the debut album until most recent album 'Osmosis'. All of them fresh and all of them special in their own way. Theres even a new song called Thats That.'Odd Seeds' is a beautiful summary of I Am Oaks past decade and beyond. You can approach it as an introduction to I Am Oaks music, or as a fully new album with new versions of songs you might know.
