Angelo De Augustine Swim Inside the Moon CATALOG / AKR133 RELEASE DATE / August 25, 2017 DESCRIPTION / Swim Inside the Moon is a record by 24-year-old Angelo De Augustine. This second full-length of Angelo’s career captures a sound he’s been looking for since he started playing music a decade ago: “A sound behind the voice,” says Angelo, who recorded all of this record in his bathtub using a reel-to-reel machine and a single Shure SM57 microphone. “I noticed that when you sing off a reflective surface you hear two voices. I was compelled to isolate that voice and bring it more to the front of the songs because in many ways I feel more connected to and comforted by that voice following me.” Listeners might hear Nick Drake’s intricate arpeggiated guitar parts, Elliott Smith’s pure vocals, or, at times, a likeness to the soulfulness of artists such as Vashti Bunyan, Judee Sill, and José González. But for Angelo’s part, he found this sound on his own terms. As to what these songs mean, well, that’s harder to say. “I couldn’t tell you,” says Angelo. “I get into this place, and then I wake up with a song instead of a dream.” LISTEN / akrec.co/preview-akr133 HOMETOWN / Thousand Oaks, California KEY MARKETS / Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Seattle, London QUOTES / “An assured stride into what's sure to be a gleaming future.” – Line of Best Fit “The sublime sound of a musician who’s spent ten years perfecting his craft.” DIY “Extraordinary beauty and fragility…” Sunday Times SELLING POINTS / • First pressing in limited edition bone color. • Radio campaign by Tigerbomb. • Stop-motion video of “Crazy, Stoned, and Gone” by
