Amen Dunes - Love - Blue & White Marble Color Vinyl

The previous albums by Amen Dunes were recorded in a matter of weeks and largely improvisational first-take affairs. However, their upcoming full-length album, Love, is the result of close to a year and a half of continuous work. Damon McMahon, who is known by his stage name Amen Dunes, chose to hold the main recording sessions in Montreal with Dave Bryant and Efrim Menuck of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Members of Godspeed played on several of the songs along with Colin Stetson on saxophone and Elias Bender-Ronnenfelt of Iceage, who duets with McMahon on two tracks. The result is the most substantial Amen Dunes record to date. These are elemental songs about time, love, and memory, which are as much about the listener as they are about the writer. The songs are pure, open, and beautiful.
