Newcomer Angelo De Augustine’s eerie new single, “Old Hope”, has arrived just in time for your fall playlist.
The hauntingly calm ballad is the second single from his debut album, Spirals of Silence. At a mere two minutes, “Old Hope” is short and sweet enough for your drive home or as a studying staple.
De Augustine’s mellow guitar riffs and soft vocals make this a perfect listen for fans of Elliott Smith and Nick Drake.
The Los Angeles native stepped on the scene at the beginning of September with his first single, “How Past Begins.” Although this is his first full-length album, he has already succeeded in captivating audiences with simple serenades produced in his bedroom with a reel-to-reel recorder. De Augustine is currently touring with singer-songwriter Noah Gundersen.
“The title, to me, means to be caught in the endless loop of silence, where you very much desire to live in the world, but are too afraid to be the one to initiate the first step, and are therefore sent back to the beginning,” the 22-year-old says in a press release about the title Spirals of Silence, which is set to be released on November 18.
