More Sad Hits is the debut studio album by Damon & Naomi, released in 1992 by Shimmy Disc.
History In 1991, drummer Damon Krukowski and bassist Naomi Yang had just completed a tour of the US with their band Galaxie 500 supporting Cocteau Twins, when Galaxie 500 guitarist/vocalist Dean Wareham quit the band, forcing the cancellation of an imminent Japanese tour. Krukowski and Yang had recorded three tracks before the split, and these were released as a 12" single under the name Pierre Étoile by Rough Trade in the UK in July 1991. The duo then spent time working on their book publishing company Exact Change with no plans to return to recording, until producer Mark Kramer urged them back into the studio, resulting in the album, More Sad Hits. Kramer, who also played on the album, released it on his Shimmy Disc label in 1992, attributed too the duo Damon & Naomi.
