“That is the final chapter of the ultimate quantity,” McMahon mentioned in press supplies. “Goodbye, I’ve barely mentioned a phrase to you, but it surely’s all the time like that at events—we by no means actually see one another, we by no means say the issues we should always prefer to; in reality it’s the identical in every single place on this life. Let’s hope that once we are useless issues shall be higher organized.”
McMahon based Amen Dunes in 2006, releasing an album of 8-track recordings, D.I.A., that set his instincts as a pop tunesmith to a cold, alienated manufacturing type borne of its creation in a cabin within the Catskills. His standing rose after signing to Sacred Bones, the goth-leaning Brooklyn label of which he turned a lodestar.

Black Emperor—and Freedom, the report that crystallized McMahon’s songwriting and elevated Amen Dunes past its origins as a reliquary of underground curios.
