ABOUT THIS ITEM

Next up on the GPS, is a beautiful new 45 from Damon & Naomi. I’m sure most of us by now are familiar with the story that as Galaxie 500 disbanded in 1991, the duo embarked upon a career that included a slew of wonderful releases that began with the “Pierre Etoile” EP, before several critically acclaimed full lengths on Sub Pop and their own 20|20|20 label.

“Walking Backwards” acts as a taster for the new album “False Beats and True Hearts” (released in May) and once again features the incredible guitar work of Michio Kurihara (Ghost / White Heaven).

The exclusive B side features a cover of Scott Walker’s “The World’s Strongest Man” from 1969’s “Scott 4” album. Released just in time for Record Store Day 2011, the single is released as a numbered edition of 400 copies, and like most other GPS releases isn’t expected to hang around long…
