Augustines [LP]

With its open-armed energy and elegiac grace, ‘AUGUSTINES’ marks a colossal leap forward for Votiv/Oxcart recording group Augustines, no mean feat considering the extraordinary power of their breakthrough 2011 debut, ‘RISE YE SUNKEN SHIPS.”AUGUSTINES’ marks a milestone on Augustines’ amazing journey, the work of a gifted band ascending to new heights while simultaneously grappling with their place in the universe. With their recent tour with Frightened Rabbit, Augustines brought their brilliant new album to a worldwide audience keen for their return. Eric Sanderson (bass, keyboards, vocals) describes the Augustines’ live shows, saying ‘The audience is singing, the audience is dancing, they’re all making music together. That’s what we’ve been trying to do our whole lives as musicians, but only recently have we been able to embrace that.’
