I keep trying to get further into the new Damien Jurado record, Maraqopa, but then I get stuck and stuck and stalled on this marvelous (melodic, melancholy) song.

die nähe zu neil young kann ich nie verhehlen. durados gesang, seine attitüde, vieles, was eine referenz zum altmeister wert ist. doch keine gefahr von apologetentum. zu sehr setzt damien jurado auf die eigene karte. mit seinem zweiten werk, das er in personalunion mit richard swift einspielte (sein elftes, zwölftes? ingesamt), setzt er den weg von ressourcen- und reibungsverlust fort. nicht nur, dass er den klagen gebührend platz einräumt, er umfängt sie auch noch in unanständig schöne rahmen. zwei jahre nach "saint bartlett" glaubt man den barden aus seattle wieder neu entdecken zu müssen. seine songs sind stille wunder. miniaturen ...

What little bits Damien Jurado has released from his upcoming album Maraqopa signal a radical, sonic turn from his acoustic roots to a more robust sound. "Nothing is the News" really hammers it home, with psychedelic fret work and a big, atmospheric sound. It's also kind of jammythe perfect soundtrack for the cat and mouse storyline stringing through the video for the song.

Damien Jurado and his cracked, wavering voice won me over. He’s not a perfect singer — he’s not even great in the way that enigmatic leads can be imperfect and yet still make it work. There’s something so earnest and vulnerable that sometimes I feel almost as if I shouldn’t listen — because it feels too private — but it’s [...]
