Caedmon's Call returns to what they do best with their new album titled Overdressed. The seminal folk-pop act has moved to a new label home at INO Records with this release, a revival of their acoustic guitar-driven sound. Overdressed also features the return of Derek Webb to the Caedmon's fold, adding his vocals and songwriting to the album and upcoming tour.

Bandleader Cliff Young proclaims this their most organic record yet, returning their sound to its acoustic-yet-engaging beginnings and harkening back to their popular 40 Acres project.

The band also reunites with Webb as they move to INO Records, home to MercyMe, Skillet, and Todd Agnew. "I have long been an admirer of Caedmon's Call rich musical legacy," says president of INO Records Jeff Moseley. "Now with the addition of Derek Webb for this record, it just feels like a natural fit. I am thrilled they are a part of the INO family and that we can share in the future of Caedmon's Call." Webb's return to this album's line-up doesn't mean he's giving up his solo career; in fact, he's just released his fourth solo album, The Ringing Bell.

The band's album title Overdressed stems from "the idea that we're overdressed as believers and in the church—it's talking about sin, depravity, shame—that we're not who we were intended to be" but tend to try to disguise it, a theme that recurs throughout the album.

It also refers to the project's less-produced sound; Overdressed was produced by the band and mixed by Shane Wilson, who helped the band craft a sound both raw and accessible.

The project's highlights include the singable, harmony-rich singles "There Is A Reason" and "Need Your Love," Webb's typically insight-filled "Share In The Blame," and "Sacred," one of Danielle's contributions to the record.
