Album Review: Amen Dunes - Love

Gradually crawling his way out of the American folk underground by gleaning leverage on hipster blogs, Brooklynite Damon ‘Amen Dunes’ McMahon has finally emerged, blinking in the sunlight as he opens Love with a cavernous yawp.

Featuring not only a full band but a rotating cabal of musicians including members of Iceage, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and jazzman Colin Stetson, songs ramble along loosely in a way that’s likely to appeal more to space cadets than casual folkies, a decent effort that should certainly arouse the buds of Kurt Vile fans.
