“In our age of exhibitionism and over-sharing, his music is quiet, sheltered, simple and restrained,” says Sufjan Stevens of Angelo De Augustine, an auspicious newcomer from LA. Stevens could also have pointed out De Augustine’s affinity with his own quietest music: “Truly Gone” wouldn’t have sounded out of place on Stevens’ Seven Swans, or indeed Elliott Smith’s Roman Candle.
