Angelo De Augustine signs to Asthmatic Kitty and debuts tender folk track "Truly Gone"

The 24-year-old Thousand Oaks, CA native has already self-released a bunch of music, including 2014's Spirals Of Silence LP, but this new offering marks a leap upwards. Now having inked a deal with the same label that counts Stevens, Lily & Madeleine, DM Stith, Fol Chen, and Mozart's Sister among its artists, De Augustine has a proper platform to shine - and shine he does.

"Truly Gone" is a tender opus that forces time to stop in its tracks, with cascading folk guitars and whispered vocals muddled together to create three-and-a-bit minutes of sun-speckled beauty. With fresh, summery tones and a rare sincerity in spades, this is an assured stride into what's sure to be a gleaming future.

De Augustine's debut record for Asthmatic Kitty is due out later this summer, with details due soon.
