Damon & Naomi have steadfastly explored the dreamier edges of music making. Their songs often feel like phantom images burned onto your aural retina, hinting at layers of greater truth conveyed through utter simplicity. We know that sounds high falutin', but if you give any of their songs a spin we think you'll understand what we're talking about immediately. Their arrangements may be sparse but the reach of each song is far deeper than a few simple chords would suggest. Give "Shadow Boxing," off their latest album False Beats And True Hearts, a listen, fall in love and then check them out tonight at Lincoln Hall.

M4A: Damon & Naomi "Shadow Boxing"
