about 20-20-20

after many years of good and bad experiences with record labels, in 2005
damon & naomi decided to form 20-20-20 to release their new album,
the earth is blue.

it might seem that starting a record label was the
last thing they needed to do, as they already had
a book publishing company, exact change,
a music career as damon & naomi, and individual pursuits of writing (damon) and photography, painting and design (naomi).

but evidently, they've made this mistake before.

after releasing "the earth is blue," it seemed like
there might be other possibilities for the label. and
thus the second release, galaxie 500 peel
sessions. together with their former bandmate,
dean wareham, damon & naomi decided it would
make sense to at long last make this last piece of
the galaxie 500 oeuvre available, with the best
possible sound, and naturally in a most attractive
package.

the third release, debuting in fall 2006, is volume one of a new series of compilations: international sad hits | volume one: altaic language group presents four singer-songwriters from Asia -- fikret kizilok (turkey), kim doo soo (korea), tomokawa kazuki (japan), and mikami kan (japan). damon & naomi's enthusiasm for this music begins with their own international tours — always interested in other people’s sad songs, they seek out recommendations wherever they travel. These four singers are among the discoveries closest to their hearts.
