Search - Damon Aaron :: Cymbidium

The distillation of 30 or so songs recorded for the much anticipated and as yet to be released LP, Eaves, the Cymbidium release is the first part of a much larger story, and an introduction to Damon Aaron. Though informed as much by hip-hop and electronic music as acoustic music, this body of work is not about genre or production. This is contemplative and personal storytelling in the tradition of Terry Callier and Nick Drake. Lyrically it manages to be both literal and impressionistic at the same time, mining the between spaces and finding the commonalities. This is the central theme of the larger work this comes from and is hinted at in its title track, 'Eaves'. Cymbidium includes 8 acoustic and epic soul pieces that are modern and timeless; sophisticated and simple; roots and future and was self-produced and largely recorded at home on 1/2" inch 8-track tape and MPC.
