You can listen to the new Amen Dunes in the background while you're doing the stuff that needs to be done today. (It's pretty chill. A cool tune that has a nice swagger to it.) Or you can let the music and words seep into your skin and embrace the struggle that lies at the core of it: feeling everything that is happening to you and wanting to move on at the same time; trying to say something that matters and just ending up mumbling 'Don't think you understand, man.'
Directed by Alex Goldberg
Cinematographer: Peter B. Samuels
Freedom is out 30/03 on Sacred Bones records.
From the press release:
"On the surface, Freedom is a reflection on growing up, childhood friends who ended up in prison or worse, male identity, McMahon’s father, and his mother, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer at the beginning of recording. The characters that populate the musical world of Freedom are a colorful mix of reality and fantasy: father and mother, Amen Dunes, teenage glue addicts and Parisian drug dealers, ghosts above the plains, fallen surf heroes, vampires, thugs from Naples and thugs from Houston, the emperor of Rome, Jews, Jesus, Tashtego, Perseus, even McMahon himself. Each character portrait is a representation of McMahon, of masculinity, and of his past."
