Forces vives de la nouvelle vague pop qui déferle sur l'hexagone, les bordelais de Pendentif forment un jolie trait d'union entre la charmante pop anglo-saxonne et notre belle langue de Molière. Leurs compositions pleines d'intelligence, de fraîcheur et de charme combinent avec malice la pop contemporaine de groupes comme MGMT, The Drums ou Metronomy avec ce que la variété française fait de meilleur. Bien reçus par la presse (Les Inrocks, Magic, Magicrpm, Serge...) dès leur premier EP sortie en mars 2011, les cinq bordelais ont depuis dispensé leur pop ensoleillée aux quatre coins de la France [...]

If you're already hung up over the end of the holiday season, Damien Jurado released a new original Christmas tune that's so timeless, so evergreen it's well worth posting after the fact. " Kalla Hus " was written with Seattle musician Kyle Zantos with Sam Anderson on strings. Download it free via Secretly Canadian's Soundcloud (below) and check out the recently released extended edition of Jurado's excellent 2012 album Maraqopa, which features six songs that you can get separately as the Maraqopa EP [...]

Damien Jurado och Secretly Canadian ger oss svärtat vemod med svensk titel. Ett perfekt soundtrack till Norénjulen.

Maraqopa , el más reciente larga duración de Damien Jurado , es quizá uno de los discos menos mencionados de este año, aunque merece estar, sin lugar a dudas, en lo mejor de 2012. Esto habla mucho de la callada pero brillante trayectoria de este intérprete, quien decidió cerrar este ciclo de 365 días con su primer canción original dedicada las fiestas decembrinas, la cual recién fue estrenada en la página de su disquera , junto con su video oficial, y lleva por título "Kalla Hus" .

Damien Jurado may be a big fan of Christmas, but there's one thing he hasn't done since he began his solo songwriting career in the mid 1990s: write and record an original Christmas song. Well that has changed and Jurado can now scratch that off his bucket list. "Kalla Hus" came out earlier this week as a digital single. "Kalla Hus" is a collaboration between Damien Jurado and Kyle Zantos with an accompanying music video directed by Christopher Harrell and starring Randall Walker and Sam Anderson. Alone, together, the song/video [...]

The syrupy toned Damien Jurado drops off a Christmas original in the form of the ballad-y "Kalla Hus". A collaboration with fellow Seattle musician Kyle Zantos, who composed the music for the tune, the track gets right the references to winter-y vistas and that special brand of holiday nostalgia and regret as well as jingle bells. There are jingle bells. Get it, girl. Damien Jurado ( Facebook ) Rating 8.2

Damien Jurado: Maraqopa Sessions - The Maraqopa Sessions are an addition to Damien Jurado 's latest full length, Maraqopa . It is a short and sweet EP filled with tracks that may have not been prominent enough to make it onto the record, but still merit a few listens. The Maraqopa Sessions is a continuation of the last album in its context and tone. This collection of B-sides carry the same contour and shape of the full length only on a less grand scale. These songs feel intimate [...]

After reading my two cents about this track, you will continue to scroll down and proceed to press play on the Soundcloud section. Or perhaps you'll scam through my reading, see a Kate Upton or movie quote reference, and press play. The decision relies with you, your finger, and your mouse pad. Regardless, you will hear the intro consisting of some demonic voices. You may think "what in the hell is being posted on this sick twisted site", but just wait. This is one of the most diverse and well composed songs I've heard in a little bit. Rapper [...]
en 2012, on se souviendra que l’on a beaucoup aimé l’épatant "Flirt" de Damien. Artiste discret (deux albums en 6 ans), Damien est le genre de chanteur (drôle et modeste) que l’on a tout de suite envie d’aimer avec ses musiques jazz, pop, bossa-nova, easy-listening, avec son phrasé léger et sa[...]
Damien Jurado lanzó en febrero de este año su álbum número 11 con el nombre de Maraqopa , un disco de folk-rock muy bien realizado que conserva el sabor de sus melodías melancólicas, un poco de experimentación y mucha belleza. El músico terminó recientemente una gira de cinco semanas por Europa, la cual no sólo le sirvió para promocionar este disco sino para grabar el video de su nuevo sencillo: "Museum of Flight" , el cual fue estrenado el día de ayer. El video fue dirigido por [...]

If you had never heard Damien Jurado’s previous albums before going to his show at Johnny Brenda’s Sunday night, you would not have known that his performance did not reflect his typical style. In listening to Caught in the Trees , his latest record Maraqopa , and a few songs from his earlier repertoire, I did not expect to hear such raucous, psychedelic jam sessions on the stage that night. I was pleasantly surprised. For the bulk of the set, Jurado played with a four-piece band, including a drummer, bassist, guitarist and keyboard player. They started [...]

"You can wait for ages Watch your compost turn to coal Time is contagious Everybody's getting old" If anyone knows what this man is up to, please let us know. Damien Rice gets constant spins at the Cafe. The only problem is, he is mood music. Not really good mood music. Rice's track 'Coconut Skins' off of his 9 album, which was released in 2006.

Damien Jurado + JBM / Andy Warhol Museum / 05.17.2012 Words by Brendan Whether or not you already know about Damien Jurado , he deserves your attention, and his music deserves your ears, hearts, and minds. He signed to indie stalwart label Sub Pop back in 1997 and has been releasing album after album of impressive material since then, continually reinventing his sound, from acoustic folk to punky garage pop to pyschedelia, on his latest, Maraqopa . We're pleased to announce that (a) Jurado [...]

Seattle indie singer-songwriter Damien Jurado is an experimentalist at heart, a literate musician who built his career on a cult following, early collaborative work as an indie rock band member with high school compatriot David Bazan, and a set of early self-released, cassette-only lo-fi experimental recordings featuring found sounds, neo-punk sensibilities, and carefully constructed, heartbreakingly elegant deconstructions of tonality and narrative images. And though more recent albums, such as 2010 masterwork Saint Bartlett and aptly celebrated new 2012 release Maraquopa, feature rich harmonic elements and hollow, crystalline atmospheres mixed with the rhythmic and sonic nuances [...]
