‘Saint Augustine’ by Owen Hamlin | Album Premiere
Exclusive album premiere of ‘Saint Augustine’ by Owen Hamlin, out January 1, 2024.
Hamlin’s ‘Saint Augustine’ will be his second studio album release however it was originally supposed to be his debut album.
“I was working with an engineer who had a fantastic recording studio built in his garage. We had an arrangement allowing me to record my full album there. As time went by in the recording process it became more and more apparent that the time I had to work on the record per week wasn’t enough. Eventually after months and months of perseverance we reached the end of recording. I came to realize that even after spending nearly a year grinding to record the album, it wasn’t the record I intended to make. In the end I decided to hold the album back. Due to a love of the songs and a commitment to finishing them I re-recorded the entire album. That album is ‘Saint Augustine’ – Owen Hamlin
Giving some insight into the album Hamlin says “I named the album ‘Saint Augustine’ after the hostel I lived at during my first year of college in Barcelona Spain. As a songwriter something clicked during my time there. I had been writing songs in mass quantities for some time leading up to that point but all the sudden the songs really started to take shape.” – Owen Hamlin
