Indie pop from Sweden. I think the SXSW official bio has the best summary:
Songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Augustine made a global splash with his debut album ‘Weeks Above The Earth’ in 2021. Born out of a love for groovy 70s melodies, his lush blend of sunbleached indie-pop, soulful falsetto, playful soundscapes and fragile love stories has amassed 50M streams independently.
Augustine received two Swedish Grammy nominations for Best Album and Best Alt-Pop in 2022, alongside praise from Billboard, Rolling Stone, KCRW, EARMILK and Ones To Watch. The album was followed by a tour with sold-out dates across Scandinavia and Europe, as well as a show at Way Out West with 3K fans attending. In true DIY spirit, he has grown a dedicated fan base of half a million unique monthly listeners worldwide, with the US as his second biggest market. SXSW will be his first live show in the US, right on time for the first glimpse of his second album.
"Guts" is good but this is my favorite. I'd go see him.
