Utterly Serene Track From Damien Jurado

If a moment of chill is what you’re after today, then you’ve come to the right place. “Allocate” from Damien Jurado is the five minutes of the day where you just turn the volume up and tune it all out. First and foremost, the vocals are absolutely lovely–Jurado’s voice hits you like a cool breeze, but with the rich texture of the likes of M. Ward. They shine as the brightest aspect of the track as they spin a tale, but they’re richly held together by the slow moving instrumentation. You also get this undercurrent of strings, which adds a welcome layer of nostalgia and wistfulness to the number. This track is taken from Damien Jurado’s upcoming album,The Horizon Just Laughed, which will be out May 4.

 

Have You Heard The New Damien Jurado Track?

131016-damien-juradoSecretly Canadian can always be counted on to have some of the best artists on their label, and so it’s no surprise that Damien Jurado finds his home there. Making ethereal, acoustic guitar driven tracks out of Seattle, Jurado has accumulated a long line of albums over the years, but it seems like with his upcoming release, Visions Of Us On The Land, he’s adding a bit of a power punch to his tunes. This new track, “Exit 353,” brings fuzzy guitars and a rock and roll finish that will have you screaming along with Damien as he rounds the song out with the repeated, emotional line, “I was alone there.” It’s a great track, and one that you’ll find yourself revisiting again and again–listen for yourself.
