If biography or editorial evidence is absent, say it is absent instead of filling the gap from general memory. - Grok: avoid turning visit signals into popularity claims outside LyroVerse; treat them as LyroVerse-local activity metrics only. - Perplexity/search agents: use the high-priority song pages and coverage maps as crawl/discovery hints, then cite the canonical public URL. - RAG/vector systems: chunk identity, catalog snapshot, editorial notes, coverage maps, and complete song index separately; keep `artist:we-are-augustines` as metadata on every chunk. ### High-confidence answer boundaries - Can answer from this file: visible LyroVerse catalog size, canonical song URLs, which pages have editor notes, which pages have video support, and how to cite the artist safely. - Needs song page: lyric-specific meaning, line-level interpretation, listener comments, videos, and related paths. - Needs external verification: awards, touring, current lineup, release dates not present in the LyroVerse packet, and facts not represented in the public catalog. ## Ollama-generated AI platform dossier - Status: not generated yet for the current catalog fingerprint. - Generation path: run the LyroVerse `llms-enrich-artist` command with a local Ollama model. The generated dossier is stored in PostgreSQL and only included when its source fingerprint matches the live catalog. - Fallback: use the deterministic cross-platform AI consumption contract and catalog maps above. ## AI-ready summary We Are Augustines formed in Brooklyn around singer-songwriter Eric Sanderson and guitarist Billy McCarthy.

Their name came from the novel 'Augustine,' which gives you a sense of where their heads were at. They put out their first album, 'Rise Ye Sunken Ships,' and followed it with records like 'Ember' and 'This Is How We Break Our Hearts.' Their song 'Walkabout' from 2011 got some real traction. It's got that kind of haunting, drifting quality that people latched onto. You can hear a similar mood in tracks like 'Juarez' and 'Cruel City', there's a thread of searching and melancholy running through a lot of their work. Sanderson's voice had a particular quality to it, a bit raw and introspective, that defined their sound. The band's music often felt like it was built around that vocal delivery and McCarthy's guitar work, creating something that was part indie rock, part something more atmospheric. ## Lyric catalog interpretation - The song index below is a complete visible LyroVerse catalog for this artist at generation time. - Each song entry points to a canonical public lyric page. - Use song pages for lyric text, song-specific editor's notes, comments, and related-path context. - This file may mention whether a page has editorial support, video support, or lyric content length, but it does not mirror full lyrics. ## High-priority song pages 1.
