We Are Augustines offer us their Chapel Song

With the critically acclaimed album ‘Anytown Graffiti’ under their belts, and a nine city sell out tour in the US with their previous outfit Pela, apparent newcomers Billy McCarthy and Eric Sanderson are actually no strangers to this industry. Pela shared the stage with the likes of Flaming Lips, The National and Sonic Youth before their split in 2009, but now, out of the ashes of Pela, Billy and Eric are back as We Are Augustines.

‘Chapel Song’ is the first video offering from We Are Augustines’ forthcoming album ‘Rise Ye Sunken Ships’ that has been wonderfully produced by Dave Newfeld of Broken Social Scene. The song itself lyrically explores the bittersweet process of letting go. We Are Augustines stroll down the blissful oblivion of love-struck lane, yet their focused forward movements reflect the truthful intensity of lyrics that express an internal breakdown amidst what is meant to be a happy event.
