@angelodeaugustine is releasing his fifth studio album, ‘Angel in Plainclothes,’ on Asthmatic Kitty Records on April 24th. The album chronicles Angelo’s journey of healing and renewal after an undiagnosed illness forced him to re-learn basic abilities.

The first single from ‘Angel in Plainclothes’ is a standout psychedelic country piece, “Mirror Mirror.” “Usually when I make music, I’ll sit down with one instrument and write the song,” states Angelo. “In ‘Mirror Mirror,’ I didn’t stick to this principle and was messing around with the tape machine’s varispeed function—seeing what would happen if I slowed down what I’d recorded on the bowed psaltery, creating an unusual droning noise. The song came from experimenting with layering sound in a very free way and watching as the structure of a song revealed itself.”

Happy anniversary to ‘Anything At All’ - which officially turns one on February 14th!

In celebration, the ‘Anything At All’ LP is on sale today only in the AKR store.

About ‘Anything At All:’

Recorded sporadically over a period of two years, ‘Anything At All’ was primarily created at @sufjan’s Catskills studio during the pandemic, with additional sessions recorded by @andyrecording, in Seattle, WA. Contributors include Stevens and Park as well as @meglui, @sam.evian, @misshannahcohen, @seantlane, and @keenanomeara, amongst others. The album’s musical aesthetic marries Denison’s ‘70s folk vibe with Sufjan’s signature bells and whistles: lush strings and woodwinds, women’s choir, and an occasional jazzy saxophone weave their way around Denison’s matter-of-fact vocals and acoustic guitar. These are simple folk songs with bursts of awe and wonder.

Visit the AKR store / link in our bio to purchase now!
