Seattle, United States
Damien Jurado is a singer-songwriter in the indie-rock tradition of Seattle, Washington. His music is regarded as being heavily influenced by folk music. Over the years he has released albums on many labels; today his primary label is Secretly Canadian. He was once in the band, Coolidge, with Seattle’s David Bazan.
He often makes use of found sound and field recording techniques, and has experimented with different forms of tape recordings. In 2000 he released Postcards and Audio Letters, a collection of found audio letters and fragments that he had found from sources such as thrift store tape players and answering machines. Also released in 2000 was Ghost of David,, Jurado’s bleakest and most personal sounding record to date. I Break Chairs, (2002) was produced by long time friend, David Bazan. It was his last album for Sub Pop, and was a much rockier, electric affair. After signing for the Indiana-based label Secretly Canadian, Damien Jurado reverted to his trademark folk ballad-based style, releasing four more albums: Where Shall You Take Me?, (2003), On My Way to Absence,, (2005) And Now That I’m In Your Shadow, (2006) and Caught In The Trees, (2008).
His next album Saint Bartlett (due out May 25th, 2010) was recorded with producer Richard Swift

Not as good as Saint Bartlett or any of his older stuff, but still really good imo.

Interesting direction on the new single/track. I think I prefer the folkier demo, but I'm intrigued at how the rest of the album will turn out.

"Damien Rice gets over 10 times more plays. Just why?" Why is this question even relevant? Because they have the same first name? There's no point in comparing them.

@SlowShows: Rice gets the plays because of that movie where Natalie Portman was a stripper or something. I remember The Blower's Daughter was either in the soundtrack or the trailer or both.

Shannon Rhodes is overwhelming. I hope he will keep making songs like the songs from Saint Barlett, Caught in the trees and And now that i'm in your shadow. Sheets, Shannon Rhodes, I am still here, the falling snow, all so brilliant and beautiful
