But what about singing about movies?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine have paired up for a collaborative project that does just that. \u003cem\u003eA Beginner’s Mind \u003c\/em\u003eis their debut album that contains 14 songs (loosely) based on (mostly) popular films. The source material is highbrow, lowbrow, and everything in between. The music is folksy, sweet, sincere and harmonically effervescent—Simon and Garfunkel with New Age flourishes. This album runs the gamut and has fun with it, even while its songwriters remain fully rooted in the melancholy folk idioms they are known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaniel Anum Jasper, a pioneer of Ghanian movie poster painting, was commissioned to paint a series of new works for \u003cem\u003eA Beginner’s Mind\u003c\/em\u003e. His paintings are a graphic simulacrum for the same sense of wonder, wordplay, and intrigue that shape \u003cem\u003eA Beginner’s Mind\u003c\/em\u003e. By transforming old films into vital new songs, Stevens and De Augustine ask us to consider ourselves from a previously unconsidered vantage point—a new way of seeing and hearing—an exercise that’s as necessary and relevant now as it’s ever been.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boiler Room Records - 27 High St","offers":[{"title":"Emerald City Green Vinyl","offer_id":57082121617786,"sku":"BRR-09507","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0363\/6517\/2868\/files\/PID-08549-7-001.png?v=1784285484","url":"https:\/\/www.boilerroomrecords.co.uk\/products\/sufjan-stevens-and-angelo-de-augustine-a-beginners-mind-vinyl-lp","provider":"Boiler Room Records - 27 High St","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
