The Overtones to release 6th studio album via Absolute

London, 15th October 2018 UK vocal harmony group The Overtones have chosen Absolute Label Services to release their sixth studio album in a worldwide deal.

The new LP, titled The Overtones, will be released on the group’s own Gambling Man Records, with Absolute providing full label services support including sales, marketing, distribution and more.

The album will be released on October 19, with two taster tracks You To Me Are Everything and I Say A Little Prayer currently available on Spotify.

This will be the group’s first album as a four-piece following the passing of Timmy Matley in April this year.

The self-titled release is a collection of both covers and original songs built as a tribute to Matley. It will see the group reunite once again with producer Julian Hinton and engineer Simon Bloor.

Since their arrival in 2010 with their debut Good Ol’ Fashioned Love, The Overtones have sold over a million records.

In the UK, they followed 2010’s Good Ol’ Fashioned Love, which peaked at No.4 on the Official UK Album Chart, with a series of Top 10s including Higher in 2012 (No.6), Saturday Night At The Movies in 2013 (No.5) and Sweet Soul Music in 2015 (No.8).

The group have also announced a 22 date UK tour starting on November 22 at Watford Colosseum and ending with a special festive show at London’s Indigo at the O2 on December 20th 2018.

Senior Label Manager at Absolute, Fraser Ealey, said: “This album deserves the very best treatment not just because of its immense quality but because of what it represents as well. We’re pleased that The Overtones have chosen Absolute to power the campaign for this very special project.”

The Overtones said: “This is an album that is particularly close to our hearts. Working with Absolute ensures that we have full sight and control over every aspect of the release, as well as a skilled, experienced team behind us to make sure we reach as many people as possible.”
