If you have clicked through to read the rest of this post, then you should consider yourself in the upper echelon of human beings. Ok, that was a bit much, but Damien Jurado is the man and now we have a brand new single to prove it. Jurado released a sampling of his upcoming album Maraqopa called "Nothing is News" that you can take for a spin below, but be careful because although it starts slow by the end there is an excessive amount of guitar crushing. Also, why not check out the trailer for [...]
Prolific Seattle songwriter Damien Jurado seems to always get lost in the shuffle, but the road tested troubadour has consistently put out solid recordings. Over the years, Jurado has expanded his folk sound by experimenting with different forms of tape, found sounds, and field recordings. His latest single, "Nothing Is News," takes some psychedelic twists and turns and shows Jurado continuing to evolve. Stream and download the track below and look for his latest album Maraqopa February 21st via Secretly Canadian .

![Damien Jurado, Nothing Is News from Maraqopa [new mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3893931_lg.jpg)
Damien Jurado's last album, Saint Bartlett , has slowly become my favorite in his 15 year discography. That album was produced by Richard Swift and the collaboration was magical. Jurado and Swift have been sweating it out in the studio and will release Damien's new album, Maraqopa , in February. Don't expect a simple folk record. Maraqopa promises to find team Jurado/Swift forging into new territory. "Nothing is News" is the first glimpse of the record and with jazzy percussion, bluesy guitar and an addictive, dark quirkiness. A promising start for 2012? [...]
"First came the scream and blood on the floor, the alcohol and the magazines…" I have been chilled, haunted and intrigued ever since hearing the opening lines of Damien Jurado 's amazing Where Shall You Take Me. One listen to Jurado's songs is akin to eavesdropping on a conversation you know you shouldn't hear, but have heard too much to tune it out. It causes you to lean forward, intent to hear the details of the infidelity, knowing full well the pleasure of the sin will never outweigh the pain it creates. Damien's songcraft [...]
In February Damien Jurado releases his latest album 'Maraqopa' and you can grab the psychedelic Americana of 'Nothing Is The News' below.

Here is another collection of tunes we've gathered from our in-box and the internet - we'd like to have more time to do them justice, but nevertheless a cornucopia of pleasures awaits you we promise!

Closer to 20 years of making music than 10 years, Damien Jurado's guitar tone is a signature one. But the first few seconds of that recognizable strum is about the only familiar element to the first single and opening track to his 10th LP Maraqopa, his second collaboration with producer Richard Swift. The song brings [...]

Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana musical começou com uma remistura formidável para um tema delicioso: "Secret Weapon" dos The Whip num remix de Alex Metric. O tema consta do mais recente álbum da banda britânica, 'Wired Together' e faz parte do mais recente PodKraak, "Beating heads Against the Wall".
There's a rhythm in all of our bodies the Japanese call... something or another (I promise it's in a book I have somewhere). It's the universal impulse to speed up a rhythm until you "destroy" it, and it exists actually (e.g. a giant crowd trying to clap in unison at sports and concerts) and philosophically (e.g. your life). Anyhow, I always remember this because music often fights this impulse to crescendo to a climax, and that natural order of things becomes stifled and transforms into something different. And the fact that my tastes tend to lean towards droning psychedelic stuff makes me question if [...]
Tweetvaso link Damien Jurado has been around a while; his career started back in the mid 19902s when he started releasing lo-fi recordings of his music on his own cassette-only label before attracting attention from Sub Pop. He's since relocated labels to Secretly Canadian, but his personal, affecting music hasn't changed much over the years....
