More Sad Hits gets more good press
December 5, 2008 – 9:54 pm
Damon & Naomi have posted a collection of some of the reviews that the reissue of their first album has been getting. More Sad Hits has just been re-released on their own 20|20|20 label and has been garnering rave reviews, quite a few of which are from UK based sites and newspapers.
Damon & Naomi create a self-contained world of sound that drifts on softened harmony vocals and the fragile, almost bottomless, rhythms of sparsely strummed guitars.
The Wire
Shimmering beauty, gracious warmth, fragile emotion, translucent melancholy and you really don’t hear the hints of cynicism and the swipes at former members unless you really tune in
The Organ

Loved the album, but the liner notes were petty and boarderline pathetic to be obsessed with a spat from some twenty years ago. Reading the liner notes put me off on the album for now.
I would have much preferred some pics of Damon and Naomi with Kramer instead.
