sometimes an album comes along that kind of marks a chapter of your life along with it, like you recall that year so and so, as the year of this or that album. This album does that for me. It has a rawness, spontaneity, yet don't be fooled, all of it is measured, organised, planned, planned in a way that tries to recapture an initial energy that was real to begin with, or from where it originated from. Well done, Mr Damon McMahon. beautiful album, and of course capturing themes so dear to him, so real, too real, for him, and he was generous to share it with us.
Ive felt so dispassionate for a long time now. Its not apathy. Its really- more or less - a numb hollowed out feeling. But the moment the music began, i teared up. A mixture if relief, grief, loss, hope, sensuality, love.....My heart has been stirred.... And i am reminded of someone very dear. ❤
You must not let the mistakes and loves gone lost get to you. You must not let anyone create a hole inside you. It will inevitably happen, but with training in the Buddha dharma it will happen much much less. The sadness of attachment will not lead to the pangs of suffering. If you hurt and are numbed inside, commit 300% like it was yesterday to find your nearest homeless shelter and go in and volunteer to cook them dinner and serve them as often as possible. If you give others the causes of well-being, and be friend them, the causes of well-being will follow in your own life, but you must make choices that are wise and noble and wholesome, or suffering will follow you no matter how far you travel, just as the shadow follows the bird who flies.
very true. he might've been prepared though, he said that several times in interviews before. i find it very very hard to believe though, especially being a musician.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Maxton Augustine thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Heard Blue Rose on Six Music months ago..Really liked it and then it got lost somewhere in the dank recesses of my brain. Have just clicked on this set immediately recognising their name..Beautiful. Thankyou Six and Kexp. You both make a cynical world a brighter sounding place!!!
Just rediscovered him after the recesses of my little brain archiving him accidentally for five years. Joy illuminated every vestige of my being as I clicked on the first few minutes of this set again. Helped me also emotionally cope with the recent loss of our beloved 19 year old maine coon cat Sidney. Thankyou as always to the power of music to emotionally heal the human condition sometimes in the best and equally worst of life's daily potholes.😂
Lovely performance! Easily my favorite record of the year... The 3 singles being some of the best music I've heard in a decade (Miki Dora on repeat ferever, it seems). Well done, Damon and co! Bonus points for the Thrill Kill Kult t-shirt.... ;)
I've known quite a few musicians that don't listen to music. Surprised me when I first heard that as well. They're too busy actually making music. Plus if you don't listen to other people's music you're more likely to be more original. I know he spends time reading a lot.
I know many people have commented on this but the mixing here kinda ruined his vocals. Wasted what was probably an amazing performance by poor audio engineering. Album of this year for me because I'm two years late on discovering this dude ha! Still enjoyed it
I can understand ya. I like several songs from him but some of his new stuff don’t reach my heart too, such as ‚Miki Dora‘ or ‚Blue Rose‘. But AD has got greeeeaat atmosphere & soul on his predecessor albums , esp. „Love“ from 2014!
His voice has a natural vibrato that puts him in a different league as a vocalist.
So talented
This has been my favourite album for a few years now.
It's one of those front-to-back always good to have on records.
Same
@@greedisgoodzsame same
don't ever get tired. it's unreal.
Yeah still the best.
This album gives me nostalgia for things I've never experienced...Love it! ♥
haha, nice!
Indeed ! 😂

you are depressed my friend.

@@markcaristi7261 beautiful wisdome, im eternally grateful for such a thoughtful, articulate, compassionate comment. Namaste'
I had a very similar experience the first couple times I listened to this.
happened to me too but with his new single, "purple land", i envisioned someone in the past, now, and the future, and just wanted to sing to her
these songs have so much soul in them.
¿Sahuaro Fest?
the bassist's refusal to remove that shoulder-slung bumbag while playing is fairly heroic.
commitment to the aesthetic
Shoulder-Slung Bumbag is the name of my band, check us out!
Just saw them live last night and he was fully rocking that bumbag. There's a reason he keeps it so close. Secret ingredient to eggs erroneous.
That's the funniest thing I've heard all year. It's been a slow year but epic man, epic and oh so true!
He’s playing guitar not bass, the bass is being played on the synth...
He is quite charming with that natural nervousness in his singing voice..... the rawness is very touching
Love how his singing sounds almost improvised on the record,but he sings it exactly the same live
Yes! It's interesting... Keeps my attention on it's toes and gives me a bit of the chills!
me too, I had the same thought when I stumbled upon L.A. the other day.. it's like a tiny extra rythm section
Still can't get over the fact John Richards didn't bat an eyelid at Damon saying he never listens to music (ever). Strangest thing ever.
very true. he might've been prepared though, he said that several times in interviews before. i find it very very hard to believe though, especially being a musician.
It is indeed the best album of the year
It's certainly one of my favorites of the year. I've been jamming it for a few months straight now.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account..?

@Maxton Augustine it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
It was a great record. Super sophisticated. Very ahead of the time.
how is the interviewer just going to blow by the fact that he said he doesn't listen to music ever ??
i always come back because the record is amazing but this live sesh is even better.
This is a monumental band and album.
Heard Blue Rose on Six Music months ago..Really liked it and then it got lost somewhere in the dank recesses of my brain. Have just clicked on this set immediately recognising their name..Beautiful. Thankyou Six and Kexp. You both make a cynical world a brighter sounding place!!!

The interviewer is just as awesome as the band.
wxpn played "Blue Rose last night and I haven't stopped listening. Exceptional sound.
such a great album, as much as i love "Miki Dora" i like "Dracula" almost as well
I love this record but his last one Love is an absolute masterpiece. Great live set. Thanks KEXP
Thomas Rainbow love is my favorite album of all time
think I wore out my first cd of yours don't ever stop doing beautiful musict amen dunes cd Beautiful stuff
August 2019 and I can't get over how great this guy is, beautiful music.
Nov 2024 and I just discovered him tonight 🤍
Been WAITING for this since August. God this record is amazing.
Lovely performance! Easily my favorite record of the year... The 3 singles being some of the best music I've heard in a decade (Miki Dora on repeat ferever, it seems). Well done, Damon and co! Bonus points for the Thrill Kill Kult t-shirt.... ;)
Omg. Absoutly best Album ever in human existence
Best album of the year. I love this record deeply. I also love that he looks like a Boston townie in an outfit.
He is giving off wicked Quincy dude vibes. Very observant.
Estoy obsesionada con el trabajo de Amen Dunes, heavy
Y en vivo suena perfecto!
I've been waiting for this! I love Amen Dunes
Absoutly full of Soul
A master peice
The best album 💜
Saw them at Motorco in Durham live last night.......they were awesome.
Well, that's a great way to start the day.
I was surprised to see him leave Sacred Bones, but glad to see him land at SubPop. Anyone know when the new LP's going to drop?
Shout outs to Panoram!
The man makes amazing music!
I like these better than the album. Love that bass line, wow.
Outstanding
Amazing band!
It's the best!
Maybe the greatest album of 2018
First song is like Heroes by Bowie if he did less coke
bass on point
🖤
blue rose is a great night drive windows down tune
this is burnnnning
Buncha haters. Amen Dunes rules.
Max Sanchez maybe they just have a different opinion than you?
Something tells me you don't understand the irony of your comment.
i'm just goofin around. it's fine if you don't like the band
Love
Wonderfull...
fucking love this man
Close your eyes and Mark Ruffalo could be Damon McMahon speaking. Such a beautiful album and an insight into a unique human being.
if you watch Amen Dunes´s Blogotheque video, he even looks like Mark Ruffalo! Wow that you said that
it's a wonderful record, and I dont think this performance entirely captures it. although it's serviceable for sure
Anyone else hear the David Gray similarity?
Can I get a set list for this ???? What’s the first song especially
never stop, needful so needful see a. g.
Definitely not sell-outs.
do you do any canadian dates?
hahahahaha ya this is real mind blowing stuff here...?
Yes ... yes it is.
Holy fuck!

WHERE IS DELICATE STEVE
Has a bit of a Gordon Downie vibe - not the band - the singer.
reminds me of old mason jennings
love this mannn, but cant tell if he was being sarcastic when he said he didnt listen to music
I've known quite a few musicians that don't listen to music. Surprised me when I first heard that as well. They're too busy actually making music. Plus if you don't listen to other people's music you're more likely to be more original. I know he spends time reading a lot.
*He was being a bit cheeky. I've seen interviews where he lists his favs. Lots of weird new wave and 80s avant guard.
He did when he was younger, but nor much now
restrained
I know many people have commented on this but the mixing here kinda ruined his vocals. Wasted what was probably an amazing performance by poor audio engineering. Album of this year for me because I'm two years late on discovering this dude ha! Still enjoyed it
it reminds me of the durutti column
XXX :D
somehow the recording sounds too clean, needs a bit of atmo. throw a little reverb on those vocals!!!! :)
Richard Ashcroft does Lounge music.
I felt it too!
I was thinking David Grey, but they're both worth emulating. Good sound never the less.
You're a sad and miserable human.
