Damon & Naomi share 'Six methods of approaching Damon & Naomi with Ghost'
Over on Damon’s Substack he has celebrated the 25th anniversary of the recording of with Ghost by sharing the track notes from the original Sub Pop release of the album back in 2000.
Twenty-five years ago this week, the Tokyo band Ghost came to our home and we recorded an album together in the living room.
When Sub Pop released the album on CD (Drag City pressed the LP cause Sub Pop wasn’t making vinyl then, what a time it was!), they hired Byron Coley to write the bio and track notes. These texts seem tailor-made for a publication called Dada Drummer Almanach so I’m resharing them here in honor of the anniversary.
Nice Opening, Duchamp from Dada Drummer Almanach
With Ghost, like all of Damon & Naomi’s albums, is available on their Bandcamp for pay what you want.
Damon has just added a subscription layer to his Substack
The listening suggestions in this newsletter seem to have proven useful for some, however. So I’m hoping they might give more of you an excuse, if not a reason, to support Dada Drummer Almanach financially.
To bolster those recommendations, I’ll be building out a new paywalled section of the newsletter with more information I gather and have gathered over the years about recorded music, and recording musicians.
