Charleston-based SUSTO’s new album “& I’m Fine Today” premieres on Consequence of Sound, who proclaim, “The Charleston five-piece covers vast sonic ground on their new album…swaying between country-tinged rock (“Cosmic Cowboy”), contemplative pop ballads (“Mountain Top”), and any number of other genres that exist somewhere within the expansive fabric of Southern music.”

The highly anticipated LP came out Friday, January 13th via Missing Piece/Caroline. In addition, the band debuts their new live video of “Hard Drugs” from their performance at Charleston’s Royal American, which you can watch HERE.
In support of the new release, the band will headline twenty-four winter tour dates in the U.S. followed by a 17-city North American tour in support of The Lumineers. See below for a full list of dates. The five-piece band has made a name for themselves in recent years playing high profile festivals including Stagecoach, Austin City Limits and AmericanaFest along with opening slots with Shovels and Rope, Band of Horses, Iron & Wine, Shakey Graves Langhorne Slim, Futurebirds and Heartles

“& I’m Fine Today” was recorded at The Space in Charleston, SC. Of the record, founder and frontman Justin Osborne says, “Something to take away from it is just understanding and appreciating when you’re not always fine. This album is about coming to terms with yourself and feeling okay with your place in the universe.”
The band released their self-titled debut in April 2014, which Charleston City Paper describes as “Southern Gothic country through and through.” The following year SUSTO recorded a live album featuring Ben Bridwell from Band of Horses and later went on to be the support act for Bridwell and Iron & Wine on their fall 2015 tour. Daytrotter, via Paste, described the live performance as “breathtaking.”
