Big Apple-based Amen Dunes has announced details of a new EP called Cowboy Worship, and with it, he's revealed a stream of the lead single "Song To The Siren".

Damon McMahon, the alter-ego of Amen Dunes, explained the track:

“I tried this one solo and it didn't feel right. Thankfully Ben [Greenberg, Hubble] lived upstairs and was up for playing. He came down and we didn't have to say much to each other, which was a sign it would work. There isn't much talking in Amen Dunes; things either flow naturally or not at all. This track in particular, a This Mortal Coil cover of a Tim Buckley cover, is a perfect metaphor for Amen Dunes. Tim Buckley heart within a This Mortal Coil body, which could be substituted with a Bob Dylan heart within a Throbbing Gristle body, or any similar pairing, inverted, reversed or flipped, any which way. Solid Ying Yang.”

Amen Dunes' Cowboy Worship EP is due out 19 January on Sacred Bones.
