(2015) Damon & Naomi - Fortune
Review: Just as Dean Wareham has remained busy since the breakup of Galaxie 500, so too have Naomi Yang and Damon Krukowski. Continuing on as Damon & Naomi, their latest album is called Fortune.
While the album is being released in traditional formats — Fortune is actually a soundtrack for Yang’s otherwise-silent film of the same name. An announcement explains, “The visuals are so bound up in the music (and vice-versa) that it’s more of a long-form music video, a visual poem set to the metronome of a textural score.”
The piece was inspired by the recent passing of Yang’s father, a photographer who left behind a huge archive of work. There’s also a tarot card theme, plus painted portraits from the ’40s and ’50s. Despite the importance of the visuals, however, the music is designed to stand alone.
This follow’s last year’s Bootleg Edition of the 1995 album The Wondrous World of Damon & Naomi. Their most recent new studio album was 2011’s False Beats and True Hearts.
