After a very good reception as a digital release, We Are Augustines‘ "Rise Ye Sunken Ships" will be released in CD format on Tuesday August 23. The band’s alt folk-rock has a visionary and passionate character, and hopeful tones with deeply meaningful, lyrics often flirting with mysticism. One of their premier tracks, "Book of James", is available for free download on their site (if you subscribe to their mailing list), while "Chapel Song" is streaming below. It’s just enough to sell you on the whole album: “He stood there in his boots unable to move, and I came here to tell you that I love you. And here lies my green eyes rolled back in my head, but they’re alive. And all these words can all get spoken: Just know we tried, and you’re forgiven.” – Caitlin Clive
