SUSTO released their first ever concert recording Live From Codfish Hollow today. The album was recorded on September 8 & 9, 2023 at Codfish Hollow Barnstormers in Maquoketa, IA during the band’s curated Fine2Day Fest. The 24-track set features highlights throughout SUSTO’s catalog as well as their renditions of Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games,” and the Oasis classic “Don’t Look Back in Anger.”
Live From Codfish Hollow follows the band’s 2023 studio collection My Entire Life. Met with critical acclaim, Holler awarded the album 8.5/10 stars, saying “Osborne and company acknowledge the chaos all around us while providing us with a means of navigating it - reminding us that we’re not alone… each song is exceptional. No song is alike.” while No Depression said, “Youthful, yearning, wizened experience, and still-flickering hope sit side-by-side in a statement of renewed purpose on My Entire Life, making the band feel matured and vital at the same time.”
SUSTO frontman Justin Osborne said, “This live album is really 10 years in the making. Since we started SUSTO back in 2014, we’ve never released a serious full-band live album. So now, with 5 studio albums under our belts, it just felt like the right time to record and release this, and there could be no better place for us to do that than at Codfish Hollow. Since we first played there back in 2015, Codfish has morphed into this kind of spiritual home for us, and we go back there to play and to see everyone, at least once every year. We started holding our own festival there, the Fine2Day Fest, and we made this live record during last year’s fest. We combined recordings from 2 nights to create the full record.”
SUSTO also released the video for “Get Down (Live From Codfish Hollow)” today as well. Filmed and edited by PERSONA LA AVE, the footage was captured during the two performances comprising Live From Codfish Hollow.
