Angelo De Augustine – Goodbye Baby Blue

Angelo De Augustine - Angel in Plainclothes

I think I’ve said this before, but when indie folk hits things right, it is really good. Angelo De Augustine is from Southern California, is “has his own Wikipedia page” big, and though I just discovered him has released no fewer than six albums; Goodbye Baby Blue is from his latest album Angel In Plainclothes. He has performed with Sufjan Stevens, whom I somehow never got into, but for me in this beautifully quiet song it is comparisons with Elliot Smith, Kings of Convenience or, much further back, Nick Drake that I use as rational explanations for really loving it.
