Christmas Time with The Lost Brothers
- News
The Lost Brothers have a really nice Christmas charity single available this year called “Little Angel” with some trademark harmonies, pedal steel and brass!
It’s available for free download on Soundcloud but the band asks that people who download the song make a donation to a children's charity of their choice. It’s also available from all good digital stores with 100% of the profit going to UNICEF which all sounds very reasonable.
Here’s the Soundcloud link

Amen Dunes releasing 'Cowboy Worship' EP in January
- News
Amen Dunes is releasing his 'Cowboy Worship' EP on 19th January as a follow up to his album 'Love' that came out earlier this year via Sacred Bones. The first song has been revealed
Speaking about new track, Damon McMahon aka. Amen Dunes said “I tried this one solo and it didn't feel right. Thankfully Ben lived upstairs and was up for playing. He came down and we didn't have to say much to each other, which was a sign it would work. There isn't much talking in Amen Dunes; things either flow naturally or not at all'.
Cowboy Worship is an attempt to give life to some of the music that didn’t make it onto 'Love' From a blown-out version of ‘Green Eyes’ featuring Harvey Milk’s Stephen Tanner, to a darker and mellower ‘I Can’t Dig It’ as Damon McMahon originally arranged it upon writing the song in China.
Many of the original intentions for the music that were lost in the Love sessions are revived. In addition there is a band version of Through Donkey Jaw’s ‘Lezzy Head’, featuring Dunes mainstays Jordi Wheeler and Parker Kindred, and the cover of This Mortal Coil’s interpretation of the Tim Buckley's ‘Song to the Siren’, featuring Ben Greenberg (Hubble) on guitar.
