Damon McMahon discusses the multi-layered new Amen Dunes album Death Jokes, how his exploration of hip-hop music technology stems from stumbling upon a discarded cassette tape in his youth, the instruments he can play and what prompted him to find a teacher to learn a new one, why Bob Dylan’s singing is such a huge influence on him, musicians who are prescient, spirituality, teachers, and Hinduism, becoming a parent during a pandemic but transcending anxiety, legacy and protest music, tour, new music, other future plans, and much more.
