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
