Tomb', the third full length album from Thousand Oak, CA's Angelo de Augustine, addresses lost love, the cost of honesty, and the ramifications of regret. It's a deeply inward album, but like the best albums about heartbreak, 'Tomb' transforms pain into beauty. ""This album is at it's core a prayer for hope and clarity, and a prayer for love,"" says de Augustine. The record is a significant shift from his previous home recordings, such as previous album 'Swim Inside The Moon'. It was recorded at NYC's Reservoir Studios with his friend and renowned musician Thomas Bartlett (a.k.a. Doveman), whose credits include work on albums for Sufjan Stevens, Glen Hansard, and Rhye. 'Tomb' is a musical breakthrough for de Augustine, with Bartlett's artful production spotlighting his increasingly impressive songwriting. The songs of 'Tomb' achieve grandeur with sweeping minimalism: a voice, a guitar, and the occasional flourishes of Bartlett's signature piano and instrumental arrangements. But the simple strength of songs like ""Time,"" ""You Needed Love, I Needed You,"" and ""Kaitlin"" will remind listeners that de Augustine is among the best of the rising crop of young, emotionally compelling singer-songwriters.

2018 release. Angelo de Augustine presents Tomb, his first album recorded in a studio and produced by renowned musician Thomas Bartlett (aka Doveman). A quiet heartache threads through Tomb. It's a universal feeling, the kind that piles up over the years and yearns for resolution. The 12 songs came together quickly, out of necessity following his first true heartbreak around Christmas 2017 - and while Tomb was born from this breakup, the album expanded to explore years of loss and disappointment. Throughout, de Augustine sings of his first love (""Tomb""), attempts to reconcile possible past mistakes (""You Needed Love, I Needed You""), and reckoning with how personal and familial history impacts present and future relationships (""Kaitlin,"" ""Bird Has Flown""). Like the best albums about heartbreak, Tomb transforms pain into beauty. ""This album is at it's core a prayer for hope and clarity, and a prayer for love,"" he says. Ultimately Tomb reflects a beginning for de Augustine - both emotionally and in his career. It's a motion towards positivity, addressing lost love, the worthwhile cost of honesty, and the ramifications of regret. In the end, Tomb isn't about burying or hiding something away, it's about opening the seal and letting something new emerge. The album's title reveals these sentiments: ""Throughout our lives we bury many dead things in our hearts and minds,"" he says. ""There they go to rest and hopefully are reborn as something beautiful for the world to behold.""
