Angelo De Augustine returns with Angel in Plainclothes, his fifth album and most inspired workyet—a deeply felt rendering of his multi-year journey of healing and renewal. The recordshowcases De Augustine's powerful melodies and poignant lyrics across tracks like thehaunting elegy "Empty Shell," the hopeful "Spirit of the Unknown," and standout psychedeliccountry piece "Mirror Mirror." Themes explore life's fragility, second chances, and picking up thepieces after an undiagnosed illness forced him to re-learn basic abilities: "I'm trying to figure outwhoI am now," De Augustine says. "I feel like I may have been given a second chance at life,and I'd like to live it."
Written, recorded, arranged, produced, and mixed by the artist at his recording studio A SecretPlace in Southern California, the album marks his first time welcoming collaborators in years,including string arranger Oliver Hill (Kevin Morby, Helado Negro), harpist Leng Bian,background vocalist/percussionist Wendy Fraser, as well as Thomas Bartlett (who produced DeAugustine’sTomb, St. Vincent, Bebel Gilberto) and Jonathan Wilson (Angel Olsen, Father JohnMisty), who played drums on and co-produced "The Cure." The result is a powerful statement ofhope: "One of the most helpful things that kept me going was the people in my life telling methat everything was ultimately going to be okay. I hope these songs end up having the samekind of effect on people out in the world, and help them know that miracles are possible.”
Angel in Plainclothes is out April 24th via Asthmatic Kitty Records.
