Damon McMahon of Amen Dunes just sent over his new video for "Bedroom Drum," directed by Jesse Hlebo, and its effect on me is crushing. The tension within the blank spaces between shots is wildly unnerving, forcing us to connect the scenes and ultimately write the story ourselves. But the slow tracking shots from behind, light from under a doorway, the turn of a faucet-- they all emerge from the dark as Damon's voice comes from the murk and rumble of his instrumentation, like pleas to a pulsing void. --Ian Pearson, Altered Zones
