Amen Dunes (aka the project of New York-based Damon McMahon) released his new album, Freedom, this past spring via Sacred Bones. “Believe,” a song about nostalgia, mortality, the passage of time, and the feminine powers that preside over life, is presented today with a video directed by cinematographer Steven Brahms, who also directed the video for lead single “Miki Dora,” and starring NYC poet and painter Laura Leigh.
