Augustus- The Common Collapse
by Tim Wenger
Augustus, out of Boulder, has dropped a new EP that showcases attractive elements of emotion fit to rival the holiday season. Folk and Americana are genres that are no scarcity here in Colorado, but the beautiful thing is that there is always room for more.
The EP, dubbed The Common Collapse, is exactly what you’d hope to hear while sipping micro brews on a mountain town- danceable, eclectic, and with the right amount of twang to seem authentic and local. Colin Kelly’s voice is somewhere between Bob Dylan and Adam Aijala of Yonder Mountain String Band, but has a Lumineers-esque alt-mainstream appeal (largely because you can understand what he is saying most of the time). Musically, the band takes the traditional folk-country sound and infuses with some bluegrass roots and a bit of indie flair, making their songs very appealing across genre lines. A solid listen for a trip up to the ski hill this winter.
