Damien Jurado (us)
āJurado is slowly turning into one of our most treasured songwriters.ā (BBC)
āBroker in impressive songs.ā (Humo)
āAn artist who has been gaining in eloquence for years now.ā (RifRaf)
Seattle resident, singer songwriter Damien Jurado has been around for a while. Not without reason, he was once described as Seattleās Godfather of Neo Folk. But then he had already debuted in the 20th century ā in ā97 to be precise ā and actually delivered his 10th album last year, āMaraqopa'. Maraqopa? Jurado: āItās a made up word.ā A joke by his mate, producer, The Shins-member and multi-instrumentalist Richard Swift. āIf you name your album that then you'll introduce a new term to Google.ā
Yup, Jurado has a sense of humour. But particularly: a golden voice. So it's not without reason then that the famous Rough Trade Shop gave credit to his latest album with a nomination for their āTop 10 Albums of The Year 2012ā chart. Damien Jurado doesn't tour all that much, but does adorn the impressive bill of the End Of The Road festival in England. He was happy to come over for the FeeĆ«rieĆ«n. If you're a fan of My Morning Jacket, Neil Young and Bonnie āPrinceā Billy then you know what to do.
