Angelo De Augustine returns with Angel in Plainclothes, his fifth album and most inspired work yet - a deeply felt rendering of his multi-year journey of healing and renewal. The record showcases De Augustine's powerful melodies and poignant lyrics across tracks like the haunting elegy "Empty Shell," the hopeful "Spirit of the Unknown," and standout psychedelic country piece "Mirror Mirror." Themes explore life's fragility, second chances, and picking up the pieces after an undiagnosed illness forced him to re-learn basic abilities: "I'm trying to figure out who I am now," De Augustine says. "I feel like I may have been given a second chance at life, and I'd like to live it."

Written, recorded, arranged, produced, and mixed by the artist at his recording studio A Secret Place in Southern California, the album marks his first time welcoming collaborators in years, including string arranger Oliver Hill (Kevin Morby, Helado Negro), harpist Leng Bian, background vocalist/percussionist Wendy Fraser, as well as Thomas Bartlett (who produced De Augustine's Tomb, St. Vincent, Bebel Gilberto) and Jonathan Wilson (Angel Olsen, Father John Misty), who played drums on and co-produced "The Cure." The result is a powerful statement of hope: "One of the most helpful things that kept me going was the people in my life telling me that everything was ultimately going to be okay. I hope these songs end up having the same kind of effect on people out in the world, and help them know that miracles are possible.”

Chad M. Clark

Chad M. Clark (b. 1973) is a Chicago-based guitarist. Immersed in the instrument's physical properties, his palette is a measure of size, encompassing both finite and infinite magnitudes.

From the narrow rasps of strings stretched taut to the creaking breath of the wood itself, the ways in which particular vibrational phenomena contour the subjective experience of time and space permeates Clark's practice.

He has performed with many improvising musicians, including Tim Daisey, Weasel Walter, Mark Feldman, Bill Harris, Damon Smith, Jim Baker, Dave Rempis, Viv Corringham, Norman Long, Chris Corsano, Carol Genetti, Jack Wright, and Keefe Jackson.
