Edmonton-born and Montreal based singer-songwriter-producer Michael Rault has announced his new album and Wick Records debut (a Daptone Records subsidiary), It's A New Day Tonight, out May 18th. Rault's new album 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. The album was recorded live to tape by Wayne Gordon at Daptone Studios in Brooklyn NY.
