Mark and Stuart host a feast of music and hear from Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine

Mark and Stuart present a feast of great music and hear from singer-songwriters Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine about their new album.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today they hear from singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine. The pair have collaborated on a new album, ‘A Beginner’s Mind’.

Sufjan Stevens has released nine studio albums alongside various collaborations with fellow musicians, choreographers and visual artists.  Angelo De Augustine has released three studio albums and lives in California, where he grew up.

Their new album was formed from a month-long song-writing sabbatical, where the pair decamped to a friend’s cabin in upstate New York.  Watching a movie to unwind after each day’s work, they soon found their songs reflecting the films and delved further into this connection, using films like ‘Return To Oz’ and ‘Point Break’ as their inspiration throughout the record.

In today’s interview Sufjan and Angelo tell Mark about the album’s creative process and chat about Bon Jovi and Hellraiser III.

Also on the show… long-running feature ‘The Chain’, which gives listeners the chance to pick a track that links in some way to the last. The list now contains over 8000 songs.

With a selection of music old and new to get the weekend started.
