Angel Investor's debut album, I Can't Smell the Rose Underground (2025), is an emotionally resonant blend of indie folk, distorted guitar sounds, and sepia-toned noise, brought to life by Jack Dione and Silas Johnson through Jane Records. The album features a mix of gentle melodies and grainy chords, tied together under wobbly vocals that feel so intimate. The album explores and twists genre conventions, merging shoegaze and grunge influences, especially evident in 'Stillicide' and incorporating early 2000s pop inspirations in 'In The Headlights'. The personal and uncomfortable themes resonate strongly in songs like 'I'm Gone', exemplifying a relatable loneliness. Produced with an analogue warmth, the album creates a nostalgic yet fresh listening experience, perfect for autumn nights. While some stylistic choices may detract from the overall narrative, the album's unique sound and emotional depth make it a standout debut.
