AUBURN — The rock/jazz/funk band Rustic Overtones, whose 2007 album “Light At The End” was the fastest-selling local disc ever in Maine, will play Saturday, Oct. 8, at Club Texas.

The band, active from 1993–2002 and again beginning in 2007, put out its sixth studio album, “The New Way Out,” in November 2009. The album is the band’s first since the departure of longtime keyboard player Spencer Albee, and is its first full-length release of all new material since “Viva Nueva!”

Members of the band, known for having survived one of the most contentious record label battles, followed different musical paths during its five-year hiatus. Some formed new bands (Paranoid Social Club, Seekonk) while others toured with the likes of Soulive and Ray Lamontagne before reuniting in 2007 at a concert in Portland’s Monument Square.

Three months later, Rustic Overtones began work on “The New Way Out,” featuring its most experimental work to date.

Of the album, a Boston Herald reviewer wrote: “A big album in every sense, it mixes Beatles-reminiscent psychedelia, multi-layered orchestral pop and huge-eared references to everything from Pink Floyd to Coldplay and Radiohead — all of it wrapped around one warm, captivating melody after another.”
