SUSTO Premieres First Single from New Album on Baeble

Charleston-based SUSTO's first track, "Waves," from their forthcoming album premieres on Baeble who proclaims, "Osborne delivers a raw energy packed with soaring guitars and husky vocals." The single is available for download HERE, and the full record, & I'm Fine Today, is due out January 13 via Missing Piece/Caroline. Following its release, the band will support The Lumineers on a 17-city stretch of shows in the U.S. and Canada. SUSTO is on tour now playing select dates with Langhorne Slim and Shakey Graves. See below for a full tour itinerary.

& 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."

SUSTO is comprised of Justin Osborne (vocals, guitar), Johnny Delaware (guitar, keys), Marshall Hudson (drums), Jenna Desmond (bass) and Corey Campbell (guitar, keys). The band name derives from a medical syndrome specific to Latin American culture that roughly translates as "panic attack."

The band released their self-titled debut in April 2014, which The Charleston City Paper describes as "Southern Gothic country through and through." The band immediately followed up with a North American tour playing shows with Shovels and Rope and Band of Horses. In April 2015 SUSTO released 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, calling it "breathtaking."

Earlier this year, SUSTO toured with Futurebirds and Heartless Bastards and made debuts at Austin City Limits Festival, Stagecoach Festival, and AmericanaFest - Nashville. This summer they released the standalone single "Chillin' On The Beach With My Best Friend Jesus Christ," which premiered on Nerdist, who noted, "It's a catchy folk tune that functions as both bible camp parody and beachfront anthem. Regardless of whether you're a believer, non-believer, or something in between, it's tough to argue [the track] isn't a ton of fun."
