The Sub Pop Years

Compiling the best of Damon and Naomi's records over the course of four albums on the venerable Sub Pop label, The Sub Pop Years commemorates a grand chapter in the career of a band who never planned an existence in the first place. After More Sad Hits, the duo was ready to call it a day and concentrate on their book company. However, they were convinced to continue onward by Sub Pop poobah Jonathan Poneman, who saw great potential in their continued collaboration. It was no the first time (nor last) his hunch proved right. For the next ten years, Damon and Naomi developed from simply recording project to a fully fleshed-out band, with a knack for articulating sounds and accumulating collaborators that continues today.

The Sub Pop Years captures an important part of that journey with a conciseness and breadth that will enrich both a longtime fan and the first time listener.
