Charm Offensive by DAMIEN DONE
Damien Done returns with his first full-length effort, Charm Offensive — an album laden with tales of blackmail, voyeurism, secrecy and guilt.
Still nodding to the doom-tinged rock’n’roll of his previous releases, Charm Offensive now sees Damien Done exploring a lush, gloomy pop frontier, at times calling to mind the shimmering black art of Tears for Fears, Billy Idol or Echo & The Bunnymen.
Charm Offensive is dense and unsettling, but strangely sweet and impossibly distinct.
Here’s what people are saying about Charm Offensive:
“… a doom-laden glimpse into a brooding, sufferingly-aware but ultimately unconquered perspective, delivered in songs that are both immediately memorable and slow to unravel. A brilliant debut and a clinic on aging artistically with grace.”
– DW (Razorcake)
“Macho new wave with a sense of humor and self-loathing, the eternally clever Damien Done has taken post-hardcore to an all new level, channeling what feels like Joy Division, Nick Cave and 80s pop all distorted through his own unique lens.”
– Dwid Hellion (Integrity)
