Angelo De Augustine – “Empty Shell”

Last month, Angelo De Augustine announced his new album Angel In Plainclothes and released "Mirror Mirror." Today, the LA-based singer-songwriter is back with a beautifully serene single called "Empty Shell."

"It was the first song written of the batch that would make up the album," he says. "I don't know how to talk about a song like this in a way that wouldn't cheapen the experience of listening to it. You have to listen to understand."

The track also comes with a short film directed by Ramez Michel Silyan. It's called Can I Come Back To Earth?, and about it he says:

I wanted to make a document of where I am now and an acknowledgement of the years of suffering I have endured. In my life I oscillate between guarding privacy and wanting to share things I have made. This little film feels like the right sized window — small enough for a glance, but large enough to leave behind, showing that at one time I existed on the earth.
