Album Review: Amen Dunes - Death Jokes

“It’s easy to hear all of this strain, frustration, isolation and inspiration in the bizarre patchwork that is Death Jokes… Key to this is his overtaking most of the instrumental duties – and for the first time drawing on inspiration from electronic music that he grew up loving. The album is littered with samples and programmed drum loops – something he taught himself to do in the last few years – but it’s not always to the benefit of the songwriting.”

I’m such a huge fan of Damon McMahon’s work as Amen Dunes but I found Death Jokes a bit confounding - though still with plenty to enjoy. Take a look at my exploration of the album over here.
