Damon & Naomi Celebrate 25 Years With a New Album

[image]

Damon & Naomi have been performing together for 25 years, or more years than some of us have been alive. A new album, a fitting way to celebrate the occasion, has been recorded and will be out May 9th.

False Beats and True Hearts is the first album from the group in four years, although the group has seen the re-release of several albums in that time including their very first More Sad Hits.

With all of the group’s re-releases, it’s appropriate that False Beats’ first single “Walking Backwards” is a celebration of the art of reflection. You can hear the single right here, and look for False Beats and True Hearts when it’s released May 9th

Modern Skirts Release New Track, Brief Tour Schedule

Modern Skirts showed up on the music landscape in 2005 with a piano-heavy focus and a spot on Paste Magazine’s 50 Best Albums of 2005 with Catalogue of Generous Men.

The band just put out their third full-length in which they turned down the pianos and brought up the guitar. Gramahawk has dark and gritty subjects while still keeping the catchy hooks and (moderate) piano that were featured in the band’s first two efforts.

The band self-produced the album in New Orleans, and you can hear a song off of the album right here.
Listen to “Happy 81”

Furthermore, Modern Skirts are doing a brief tour of the south. If you happen to live down there, you can see them:

2.11 – Raleigh, NC – Pour House

2.12 – Charlotte, NC – Snug Harbor

3.4 – Athens, GA – 40 Watt Club

3.5 – Atlanta, GA – Smith’s Olde Bar

3.11 – New Orleans, LA – Circle Bar
