ACL 2018: Amen Dunes

Sunday at 1pm.  The 12:15 time slot has three bands that didn't do much for me.  Amber Mark is R&B and was the best of the three.

1pm has Mt. Joy.  We saw a brief set at SXSW at Blackheart so I could see them again.  However, this is the band to see.  It's the moniker of New York-based Damon McMahon.  This is his 4th album under this band name and it's getting rave reviews.  GQ says it's the best album of 2018 so far.  Pitchfork and NPR loved it.

I listened to the whole album ("Freedom".  Stream on Amazon) and it's really good.  This song is probably the best.  "Believe" is good, too.  So is "Dracula".  You should just listen to the whole thing.
