By Anna Miller<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sujan Stevens and Angelo De Augstine\u2019s collaborative album, A Beginner\u2019s Mind, <\/em>released on September 24th and has since gained a lot of attention. It is a loosely conceptual album that’s inspired by a series of films Stevens and Augustine watched every night before they started writing the next day; from The Wizard of Oz<\/em> (\u201cBack To Oz\u201d)  to Silence of The Lambs <\/em>(\u201cCimmerian Shade\u201d), A Beginner\u2019s Mind<\/em> recounts the themes of these films through an alternate narrative. Although the concept is not entirely coherent \u2014 to no surprise \u2014 the album ebbs and flows beautifully. Instead of reading like one narrative, A Beginner’s Mind <\/em>serves as a collection of mythological tales with underlying themes of self-discovery and individuality. <\/p>\n

In terms of musicality and genre, there has been a lot of talk around Stevens returning to the style of music that initially put him on the map. While some have expressed that Stevens is pandering to indie enthusiasts, others believe A Beginner\u2019s Mind<\/em> is a return to Steven\u2019s roots. There\u2019s no doubt that the album reflects Steven\u2019s older work, which can especially be heard during some of the softer songs like \u201cMurder and Crime.\u201d Various notable influences can also be heard throughout the album, specifically sounds from The Velvet Underground, Nico, and Elliott Smith. The groove in \u201cLady Macbeth in Chains\u201d is very \u201cSunday Morning,\u201d and \u201cMurder and Crime\u201d is very much in the style of Elliott. Stevens and Augustine capitalize on their ability to write imaginative, soft, brooding indie music, which has recently regained popularity. However, A Beginner’s Mind<\/em> avoids falling into the fray, holding a lot of personality, and being dynamic enough to stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n

A Beginner\u2019s Mind <\/em>opens with a personal favorite, \u201cReach Out.\u201d Initially released as a single, it\u2019s the perfect thesis to the entire album. The verse tugs at the heart strings with melancholic lyrics like \u201cI have a memory\/ of a time and place where history resigned\/ Now my apology\/ All the light came in to fulminate my mind.\u201d The song continues to uplift through the chorus, like a glimmer of hope, before returning back to the form of the verse. After the stanza \u201cHome is where you\u2019ve called my name\/ I\u2019ve gone as far as the eye can blame\/ You said love may have lost its way,\u201d there\u2019s a dramatic pause emphasized by a sliding base, and then followed by a surge of energy. The final build up, accompanied by a glimmering xylophone, feels like Stevens and Augustine are riding waves of aspiration.    <\/p>\n

The following song \u201cLady MacBeth in Chains\u201d is one of the more dynamic songs on the album. Each segment feels like an entirely different song, which may come off as unappealing, but the chugging drum line throughout the majority of the song sews it all together. The verses are dark and ominous, with a heavy down-strumming acoustic, but then open up to an airy, catchy chorus. \u201cLady Macbeth in Chains\u201d is also lyrically compelling. It\u2019s a commentary on the film All About Eve<\/em>, where Stevens and Augstine have an interesting take on Margo Channing (played by Bette Davis), comparing her to a certain Shakespearean lady-antagonist.  <\/p>\n

The titular song, \u201cA Beginner\u2019s Mind\u201d is another beautiful lament written from the POV of Patrick Swayze\u2019s character in Point Break<\/em>. The verses of this song are jam packed with syllables, like the words don\u2019t fit. Although, the jarring verses frame the chorus beautifully, making the repetition and simplicity engaging and refreshing. <\/p>\n

\u201cMurder And Crime\u201d is another album hit, being one of the more softer and heartbreaking songs (as if this album couldn\u2019t get sadder). This song is very evocative of Elliott Smith as Stevens and Augustine use some of the same vocal inflections as Smith is traditionally known for. The pairing of acoustic piano and guitar on the track create a quintessential indie pairing of two passionate lovers (musical sex).<\/em> But this song is anything but love and passion, reflecting on the cruelty of the world inflicted through religion. The lyricism on \u201cMurder And Crime\u201d is some of the best on the album, and possibly some of Steven\u2019s best. The last stanza is potent enough to leave one staring at the bedroom ceiling for hours, \u201cEvidence known, march on\/ Oh god, I\u2019m lost in the antiphon\/ Where does everything go when everything\u2019s gone?\/ For my heart cannot break much more.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album continues to explore the themes of individuality, spirituality, and self-discovery through Steven and Augustine\u2019s incredible writing. The song \u201cCimmerian Shade\u201d has a terribly heart wrenching chorus, but songs like \u201cIt\u2019s Your Own Body and Mind\u201d offer a moment of gratitude. The push and pull of A Beginner’s Mind<\/em> is like an emotionally satisfying character arch, finally ending with \u201cLacrimae\u201d in which Steven and Augustine\u2019s voices are almost indistinguishable, adding an eeriness to the album\u2019s theme of individuality. Overall, this album feels like a homecoming. Whether Steven and Augustine are simply pandering to the reborn soft-indie heads or not this album is still one of the best to come out of the pandemic. Not to mention, the two compliment each other incredibly well. Augstines style is full of whimsy and adds texture to Steven\u2019s straightforward writing. The two continue along in the resurgence of stripped down, intimate songwriting in indie music, executing it with spine-shivering emotionality. It is the perfect album to marinate in your misery on a cold and rainy day. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
