!NEW! US ALBUM RELEASE AND LIVE DATES ADDED 
Just added US tour dates for October - see live page for details.

The album Out of Season is scheduled for release in the US on October 7th 2003.

Gibbons and Webb will perform live in the USA during October and in Brazil on the 30th October, joined by members of both bands - Portishead guitarist Adrian Utley, Talk Talk's drummer Lee Harris and bassist Simon Edwards - along with keyboardist Jason Hazeley Smith of Ben & Jason and violinist Clare Mactaggart.

Whilst you'll know the empathetic sounds of both Portishead and Talk Talk, prepare to be surprised by wispy acoustic guitars, swooping strings and stark piano, dominated above all by Gibbons' extraordinary voice -- exquisitely melodic, haunting, calm and nape-hair-raising at the same time - conjuring the ghosts of Nico, Sandy Denny, Billie Holiday and Nick Drake.

Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man "..played with such taut, restrained dynamism that it seems to seep into the courtyard's every crevice." "Resolve is played with with breathtaking subtlety; by contrast Tom The Model unfurls luxuriously under deep red lights. Gig of the weekend, no question." - The Independent (review of London's Somerset House summer series dates July 2003).

Out Of Season "is in the rarefied company of those records
that have a dignity and otherness. the mood is desperately intimate,
overwhelmingly autumnal. Out of Season is gorgeously uneasy
listening." -The Guardian

"It's the kind of enormously special record that's destined to be
treasured for years. Bewitching" - Esquire
