Fall Back Open

Hailing from Athens, Georgia, Now It’s Overhead is the acclaimed indie rock band led by Andy LeMaster. Emerging in the early 2000s alongside the Saddle Creek scene, LeMaster also worked with Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes, Michael Stipe of R.E.M., Orenda Fink, and Maria Taylor of Azure Ray.

This set brings together the band’s three celebrated full-length albums, Now It’s Overhead (2001), Fall Back Open (2004), and Dark Light Daybreak (2006). Available on vinyl for the first time, these editions open a window onto a rich corner of early 2000s indie rock.

All three albums have been newly remastered by Andy LeMaster, whose work as a musician, songwriter, engineer, producer, and visual artist runs through the heart of the project. As The Associated Press put it, the band delivers “a unique brand of organic and synthetic dark pop” shaped by LeMaster’s studio prowess.
