DAMON & NAOMI
Damon & Naomi began playing music together as the rhythm section, co-songwriters, and sometime singers in Galaxie 500. The band’s three albums on Rough Trade (Today, On Fire, and This Is Our Music) were genre-defying landmarks of atmospheric post-punk, inspiring countless other artists who followed in their wake. Since the early 1990s, Damon & Naomi have worked as a duo exploring folk music, psychedelia, and collaborations with other like-minded musicians on a series of albums for Shimmy Disc, Sub Pop, Drag City, and their own label 20/20/20. In addition to their work as musicians, Damon & Naomi are the publishers of Exact Change, a small press dedicated to avant-garde literature and artists’ writings. Damon is also a writer, author of several books and essayist for publications such as Pitchfork, Artforum, and his own newsletter Dada Drummer Almanach. Naomi is also a visual artist, photographer and graphic designer, as well as director of music videos (Sharon van Etten, Steve Gunn, Lee Ranaldo, Meg Baird, Waxahatchee, Julia Holter) and the essay film Never Be A Punching Bag for Nobody.
