Apr 03, 2017 Strand of Oaks By Christopher Roberts

“Our First 100 Days” is an anti-President Donald Trump project. The good folks behind the “30 Days, 30 Songs” anti-Trump campaign during the election have teamed up with Secretly Group for “Our First 100 Days.” They plan to release a new song every day during the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency. The latest addition is from Strand of Oaks (the project of Tim Showalter) and the six-minute long instrumental song “I Know YOU know You’re Evil.” Strand of Oaks released their latest album, Hard Love, in February on Dead Oceans. “I Know YOU know You’re Evil” was posted on Sunday. On Saturday “Our First 100 Days” also shared a new Minus the Bear song, “Dinosaur.” Listen to both below.
