The album opens with “Reach Out,” an invitation into the duo’s reverie. Despite choosing motion pictures that cover a wide array of genres, such as “Night of the Living Dead,” “Return to Oz,” and “Bring It on Again,” the result is surprisingly cohesive.
Cozied up by a crackling fire, the artists watched movies every day for inspiration and composed a total of 14 songs, each of them inspired by a film they had seen. Released through Asthmatic Kitty Records on September 24, the album could have easily fallen down the Spotify abyss of endless indie playlists, but rest assured: the labelmates’ new record is so dreamy, you’ll want to listen to every track from beginning to end.Ī Beginner’s Mind, Stevens and De Augustine’s first collaborative effort, was written during a one-month stay at a friend’s cabin in upstate New York.
With the dawn of fall comes the release of great indie-folk albums (think: Stranger in the Alps by Phoebe Bridgers or Damien Rice’s 9) and Sufjan Stevens’ most recent collaboration with Angelo De Augustine beautifully follows in this tradition.
