Freedom, the new record from Amen Dunes (aka New York songwriter Damon McMahon), is a first and foremost a study of desperate men.
Damon McMahon has been releasing a somewhat steady stream of music for the past 15 years – as the lead singer of Inouk before launching solo project Amen Dunes. But it’s the new album Freedom that finally takes him from a local New York act to an international name. On ‘Dracula’ – one of the final tracks on his fourth full-length under the Amen Dunes moniker – Damon finds himself somewhere between Cass McCombs’ poeticism and Jim James’ modernised classic rock with a standout number on one of 2018’s stand-out albums so far.
