Chicago Psych Fest & Daze Off Present Astral Autumn Daze:
Damon & Naomi
Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang began playing music together as the rhythm section, co-songwriters, and sometime singers in Galaxie 500. The band’s three influential albums were genre-defying landmarks of atmospheric post-punk, inspiring many who followed in their wake. Since the demise of Galaxie 500, Damon & Naomi have worked as a duo, exploring folk music, psychedelia, and collaborations with like-
minded musicians. After a series of recordings for Sub Pop, they established their own label 20/20/20. Their latest, A Sky Record, was released in August 2021.
Praise for Damon & Naomi’s A Sky Record:
“A beautiful album, one of the duo’s most beguiling… a calming and tender reflection on appreciating what you have in uncertain times.” Pitchfork
“Damon & Naomi are back to make all your folk-pop dreams melt into the sunset.” Rolling Stone
“This is one of Damon & Naomi’s most purely gorgeous sounding records — and considering the glories of what’s come before, that’s a real accomplishment.” Aquarium Drunkard
