RUSTIC OVERTONES
Friday, November 6, 2009 -
Nine years ago Maine’s Rustic Overtones saw their big major-label break turn to ash on the pyre of Clive Davis’ career at Arista. Now they make their own big break, self-producing the sprawling “The New Way Out” and shooting for the stars. A big album in every sense, it mixes Beatles-reminiscent psychedelia, multi-layered orchestral pop and huge-eared references to everything from Pink Floyd to Coldplay and Radiohead - all of it wrapped around one warm, captivating melody after another. Two years in the making, “The New Way Out” is Rustic Overtones’ magnum opus - a great piece of work in every way. Download: “All Together.”
