Artist description Songwriters and friends with acoustic guitars... Angst is a fabulous songwriting team from the NYC & NJ area; while their often intricately patterned, intensely acoustic, guitar music, draws primarily from the blues, they manage to blend together many different sounds and styles. However, the music only serves as a fitting backdrop for their own abstract, sometimes humorous, ironic and purposefully existential lyrics-occasionally bordering on the absurd. Their songs also contain subtle vocal harmonies, introspective journeys (real and/or imagined), flat-picking, slide guitar and driving rythmic arrangements.

Music Style Acoustic Folk & Blues

Press Reviews Here's what they're saying about Angst for the Memory: Two Piece Heaven... Subtle harmonies vocally, choppy acoustic rhythm, and words we can all relate with. What more could one ask for? Tenacious D? Not. This is a couple of guys who really did some good work-no buzz no hum no bass overload... This great acoustic guitar duo is kinda-folky, kinda-bluesy, kinda-brilliant... Damn fine lyrics and fantastic guitar work. Angst For The Memory's Sand on Razin, has an acoustic groove that will move you.
