Album review
Damon McMahon has announced his project Amen Dunes is coming to an end. To mark the news, he’s sharing one final release, Death Jokes II, a remix album stripping back songs from this year’s Death Jokes with producer Craig Silvey. Stream it below.
“This is the last chapter of the final volume,” McMahon explained in a press release. “Goodbye, I’ve barely said a word to you, but it’s always like that at parties — we never really see each other, we never say the things we should like to; in fact it’s the same everywhere in this life. Let’s hope that when we are dead things will be better arranged.”
McMahon founded Amen Dunes in 2006, releasing an album of 8-track recordings called D.I.A.. He later signed to Sacred Bones and put out a series of cult favourites for the label, beginning with 2011’s Through Donkey Jaw, which was followed by 2014’s Love (featuring members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Ice Age) and 2018’s Freedom.
