Release: Michael Rault I'll Be There 2018

Michael Rault - I'll Be There

We're pleased to announce Michael Rault's new album and Wick Records debut (Daptone's rock imprint), It's A New Day Tonight, out May 18th. The Edmonton-born, Montreal-based singer-songwriter-producer began working on the songs in earnest after winding down the tour supporting his 2015 full-length Living Daylight.

It's A New Day Tonight has the loose-limbed feel of a lost album by '70s bands that bridged the gap between folk rock's open-hearted strumming and power pop's crisp, melody-forward confections—Wings, Badfinger, Big Star, 10cc—yet possesses an energy shot through with 21st-century optimism. That vibe was assisted by the live-to-tape recording setup at Daptone.
