The Earth Is Blue is an album by the American musical duo Damon & Naomi, released in 2005 on their newly formed label, 20/20/20 (an homage to the board game Careers).[1][2][3] The duo supported the album with a North American tour.[4]
The album was recorded over 18 months at Damon & Naomi's home studio, in Cambridge, Massachusetts; they had to rebuild it during the sessions to accommodate the scope of the album.[5][1] The duo recorded deliberately, instead of trying to find the sound in the moment, so as not to annoy their neighbors.[6] They were joined by the Ghost guitarist Michio Kurihara. The horn group Nmperign played on a few of the tracks.[7] The duo initially intended to make a more political album, before again turning toward autobiographical lyrics.[8] "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a cover of the George Harrison song, which uses only part of the structure and melody.[9] "Araçá Azul" is a version of the title track to Caetano Veloso's 1972 album.[10]
