You own a hipster café and want some easily digestible background music? Here you go!

Just listen to the first song. No need to listen to the rest of the album as it's all the same.

The influence of Sufjan Stevens is so great and so overwhelming that it overshadows the merits of the album itself

Very minimalistic. Sad, yet dreamy. Not something I'd prefer to play spontaniously. But could appreciate this

This was nice and cosy on a lazy afternoon. But nothing I haven't already heared behoren in this genre.

A few stand-out tracks, and I like the quiet vibe presented here. But 45 minutes of the same quiet vibe without really that much different things going on is a bit much.

Very nice. Quite reminiscent of Elliott Smith and Sufjan Stevens but still different enough to be interesting. 4 stars.

7/10. This was good. I enjoyed listening to it. I feel like I should have more to say about it, but I guess this is it.

I like this for a track or two, but a whole album drags. The piano based "All to the Wind" is my favorite by far. Makes me wish that was the primary instrument rather than guitar.

Definitely sounds like something that'd be on the Asthmatic Kitty label. It's fine, I don't mind the softness but it's a bit one dimensional in the breakup way. Maaaybe if I was in a huge breakup I'd really get with it.

Not my thing

I like the vibe, but a whole album of it got very samey very quickly. Neat that someone from my hometown got put on this list though.

A really pleasant album choice, like a fuzzy blanket of depression.

Tasteful guitar here, tasteful vocal layering here... De Augustine's arrangements have all the benefits of our century, though the songs feel as likely assembled on tape as digitally. There are no huge stylistic or formal leaps, just spacious folk music which elegantly evades a temperature.

I see that this guy is on the same Ashmatic Kittly label as Sufjan Stevens, and he definitely sounds like Sufjan lite. I Could Be Wrong is nice, but the samey sameness of every song on this album and his oh so delicate voice gets a bit tedious after awhile.

VRaiment bien, C'est super calme et ca détend. un bonne musique d'ambiance pour un petit moment. 4

Beautiful. I happened to get this on a cold, rainy day. It was perfect.

Breathy modern alternative/ indie is a lot of people’s jam but never has quite been mine. Nothing hurtful I’m just not that interested

It makes sense that this person tours with Sufjan, because Angelo sounds like a not-quite-as-well-formed Sufjan. Enjoyable!

Why is the singer putting on such a silly voice

Started out strong for me (definitely in my wheelhouse as a Bon Iver, Sufijan Stevens fan) but feel like he doesn't find enough range and it all sort of fades together. The vocals only come in one tone and temperature and the music is so understated as to almost vanish at times.

Not gonna lie, not really my style at all. But generally dig concept/theme albums. The theme of breakups are pretty much universal and we can all relate. Understand why someone would really like this album, but the soft-spoken folksie-ness of it is a turn off for me.
