Album Description Damien Jurado is an urban-folk singer with his hand in the baskets of all the right fringe genres. He's a storyteller, and the stories have matured steadily since he first appeared on the scene with the perfect balance of lighthearted pop and saddest of the sad on his early singles and first full-length, Waters Ave S. Since then, (with his second full-length, Rehearsals for Departure, the Gather in Song EP (both from 1999), and this year's collection of found recordings, Postcards and Audio Letters) he's moved more toward the dark, and if you ask him, he'll tell you point blank that it's in the dark where you'll find us all.

CD ReviewsCalm during the storm Marc Henrie | 09/05/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I bought this CD, after hearing it on our wonderful college radio station (KCOU). It was about the only bright spot during a pretty awful semester in graduate school. Like U2, Damien Jurado uses Christian imagery in a very subtle and non-intrusive way. This album is an example of a spiritual man making sense of the loneliness and despair found in our difficult, secular world. The beautiful songs speak of a deep mysticism, though, behind the troubled lyrics. A great album." Damien quietly blows all other music out of the water... Burnbrightlystar | West Chester, PA United States | 01/21/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I picked up my first Damien Jurado album in college after a certain boy put him on a mix tape for me...and you know what mix tapes can do to your heart....Anyway, Damien has a presence which will resonate in your mind long after you are done listening to him. He is eloquent, and soft, and sings from his gut...what more can you ask for? Every album he has ever made is worth buying, but Ghost of David is a great one to start with...and please take this on car trips with you,...I think that you will find yourself listening to it again and again trying to get more from each song." Haunting... Rob Damm | 12/09/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) ""Rehersals for Departure" was merely a great album... "Ghost" is Jurado's masterpiece... it is sparer, stripped down to the bare bones. The songs are elliptical. They sound like they are 1000 years old. "Ghost in the snow" is spellbinding. "Tonight, I will retire" is the best thing he's ever written. The sound quality is remarkable. It seems the singer is in the room with you. Great, spooky late-night listening. For all fans of quiet music."
