A dozen years into his career and far removed from his trailer park origins, New York singer-songwriter Damon McMahon is best known to live audiences and listeners as Amen Dunes. McMahon’s brew of indie, psych and folk has made significant impressions for Amen Dunes’ musical topography, and he just released his fifth full-length Freedom this past Spring.
Three years in the making, Freedom blends fantasy and reality with eleven songs full of introspective ideas about childhood, masculinity and more. Amen Dunes returns to Austin City Limits Music Festival this Sunday, 1pm at the Miller Lite stage! For all you bloodsuckers and hemovores craving a feast of indie-psych-folk, here’s Amen Dunes with “Dracula”!
