Albums of the Decade - 36. Amen Dunes - Love (2014)

 36. AMEN DUNES - LOVE (2014) 

Burned some candles last night after work, turned off the main lights and just slumped out to "Lonely Richard" - one of this band's best tracks - Damon McMahon is one of the most unique (warbling but resolute) voices in contemporary folk music.

Popped open a pack of blueberries just after finishing a short 4km jog and quickly getting in at home to wash the dishes. Amen Dunes' 2018 follow-up to this Freedom - was soundtracking my workout and that LP also gives an artistic stride to the beginning of the day.

Just pressed a coffee and the lyrics of "Splits are Parted:" 

"Moved to free house with violent people

Roam the streets at night
Born to love your jagged sound
Sing a decent dime
Oh, I could love you
Oh, I could make it easy"

So, all in all - stunning with candles, berries and coffee - any tme of day. Roger that.
