Overcast!

Overcast!

Released twenty years ago, in the summer of 1997, Overcast! marked the start of a storied career that still shows no signs of slowing down. While considered an underground classic, as well as a fan favorite, by many, the Overcast! full-length album has never been available on vinyl until now! For this special 20-year anniversary vinyl edition, all the original recording sessions were transferred from the reel-to-reel tapes and mixed especially for vinyl by Joe Mabbot, long-time engineer for Atmosphere, dating back to God Loves Ugly. The album is pressed on triple white color vinyl and packaged in a custom built case-wrapped and debossed jacket, and includes three previously unreleased songs from the original reel-to-reel tapes! While Slug and (original co-member) Spawn's passion for wordplay may have hinted at some of their influences and inspirations, it was their creative songwriting and inventive concepts, paired with Antâ€™s brooding and melodic production, that made Overcast! stand apart from its predecessors and peers. The album covers a range of topics and moods, from the storytelling on â€œWNDâ€, to the personal reflections of â€œCaved Inâ€, to the visual imagery of â€œClayâ€, all joined by a wealth of battle rhymes and braggadocio coming together to form a well balanced and diverse collection of lyricism. Of course, thereâ€™s also â€œScapegoatâ€, with its beautifully ominous musical backdrop and Slugâ€™s perfectly-scripted poetic rant, which took the underground by storm and played a significant role in opening ears around the world to give a listen to what Atmosphere, Rhymesayers, and by default, the Twin Cities, had to say. Celebrate 20 years of creative expression and endless touring with the album that started it all!
