Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang have been making music together as Damon and Naomi since 1991, but the duo is best known for comprising two thirds of dream-pop forefathers Galaxie 500—Damon on drums and Naomi on bass, along with guitarist/singer Dean Wareham. And although none of Damon and Naomi's recent records approach the near perfection of On Fire, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing: in their nearly 20 years of existence, the duo have molded their sound into a dynamic hybrid of folk and fragile, experimental pop, a gradual digression from their past. In contrast to their Galaxie 500 days, both Krukowski and Yang contribute vocals on False Beats and True Hearts, their seventh studio album, recalling a familiar adage: two is company, and can also make for compelling pop music. With Amor De Dias, Trespassers Williams. ANDREW GOSPE
