The fall tour will offer the first opportunity for the band to support their new album. A celebration of sobriety, Gusto is first and foremost a recovery record. "I celebrated my first year of sobriety alone over a stormy Spring weekend in a desert cabin with some recording gear," frontman Richard Jankovich recalls. "The album just flowed out of me-13 songs over three days. I wrote from morning until night and it was cathartic." Addressing family, marriage, addiction, anger, serotonin, despair and, ultimately, hope, Gusto is a wide-ranging, emotional journey that focuses on second chances. Stream the album in full on Spotify HERE.Written by music vet Richard Jankovich and performed by Michael Datz, Albert Kurniawan, Micah Lopez as well as Jankovich, Gusto was mixed by Dan Long (Local Natives, Spiral Stairs) and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Spoon, The White Stripes). Lead singles "The Underdog feat Leah Wellbaum (Slothrust)" and "The Doctor Will See You Now" were premiered by Stereogum and American Songwriter, respectively. Singles received strong support at radio including SiriusXM and NPR stations and peaked at #12 on the Submodern radio chart. Singles received editorial/official playlisting from Spotify, Apple and Amazon (as well as NPR "New Music Friday") and the band signed with Madison House booking (Stone Foxes, String Cheese Incident, SSION, The Beths).
