Feel Nothing

Description

Amen Dunes (aka the project of Damon McMahon) returns with Feel Nothing, a powerful and honest first statement since the release of 2018s beloved Freedom, and his debut release with Sub Pop. Recorded in Los Angeles with co-producer Ariel Rechtshaid and mixed by Craig Silvey, Feel Nothing begins with McMahons unmistakable voice chanting Kingdom, kingdom, kingdom, kingdom, kingdom // be a prophet until the Sleaford Mods rhythm drops and McMahon continues Every time I hear a story // Got no good from it. The song, which features synths by Freedom-collaborator Panoram, gradually introduces the rhythm-heavy next chapter in the Amen Dunes sound, before a duet by Sleaford Mods Jason Williamson and McMahon carries the song out. Where Freedom was [Amen Dunes] euphoric breakthrough silvery and romantic, like a hallucination of the classic-rock songbook (Pitchfork), Feel Nothing is a bold reflection on resistance, and a step further in the intentional reimagining of the world of Amen Dunes.
