Meg Baird • Damon + Naomi

Since co-founding Philadelphia's luminary psychedelic folk collective Espers, Meg Baird

has been steadily creating a body of solo and collaborative work within folk, acoustic,

electrified and underground music traditions. She has recorded with harpist Mary

Lattimore, helped form Heron Oblivion as a drummer and vocalist, and has continued to

create her own solo work featuring her beguiling guitar and songwriting. Her latest

album, Furling, was released on Drag City Records in January 2023. 
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 &amp; 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

"The album is beautiful — an ambient dreamscape set to poetry." - WBUR

Praise for Meg Baird’s Furling:

“Wistful, heady, and mesmerizing… smolders like an incense cone.” Pitchfork

“The full blossoming of a long-hinted-at talent…a significant breakthrough.” Uncut

“The most inviting record of the always enchanting Meg Baird's career.” Brooklyn Vegan

“Expanding her sonic canvas, the American singer-songwriter’s first solo album in seven

years is well worth the wait.” Guardian
