Our Take

Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine have joined forces on their latest collaborative effort, "A Beginner's Mind," and the result is a whimsical journey through the minds of two musical masterminds. From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world where quirky melodies and introspective lyrics reign supreme.

Stevens' signature dreamy vocals are complemented perfectly by De Augustine's ethereal guitar work, creating a sound that is at once familiar and entirely new. The album is a testament to their shared passion for pushing boundaries and experimenting with different genres, with tracks like "Reach Out" and "You Give Death a Bad Name" showcasing their versatility and creativity.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "A Beginner's Mind" - Stevens and De Augustine aren't afraid to delve into darker subject matter, exploring themes of loss, love, and the human experience with a brutal honesty that is both refreshing and cathartic. The result is an album that is as uplifting as it is introspective, a true testament to the power of music to heal and inspire.

In conclusion, "A Beginner's Mind" is a triumphant collaboration between two musical titans, a must-listen for anyone who craves something a little different in their music collection. So go ahead, grab a cup of tea, put on your headphones, and let Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine take you on a journey through their beautifully bizarre minds. You won't regret it.

About the artist

Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine

SUFJAN STEVENS: Oh, Sufjan, where do we even begin with this indie-folk extraordinaire? With a discography as eclectic as his wardrobe choices, Sufjan Stevens is a musical chameleon who constantly keeps us on our toes. From the haunting beauty of "Carrie & Lowell" to the electronic experimentation of "The Age of Adz," Stevens never fails to surprise and captivate his audience. But let's not forget his infamous 50 states project, a promise to write an album for each state in the US. While he may have only completed two (Illinois and Michigan), we forgive him for getting distracted by side projects like "Call Me By Your Name" soundtracks and Christmas albums. Oh, Sufjan, we wouldn't have you any other way. ANGELO DE AUGUSTINE: Ah, Angelo de Augustine, the singer-songwriter with a voice as smooth as silk and songs that'll tug at your heartstrings. Hailing from sunny California, Augustine brings a sense of warmth and intimacy to his music that is simply irresistible. His delicate guitar work paired with poignant lyrics have earned him a devoted following in the indie-folk scene. With albums like "Tomb" and "Swim Inside the Moon," Augustine proves he is a force to be reckoned with in the world of stripped-down, emotive music. His ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing in just a few chords is truly a gift. We can't help but be enchanted by this troubadour and eagerly await what he has in store for us next.
