Damien Jurado – The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania LP

Description

The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania is Damien Jurados first release on his own label, Maraqopa Records. The album contains ten intense stories of people determined not to be broken by dire circumstances. The self-produced album is sonically among Damien Jurados most exposed, homespun ambiance and inspired by the dry sound of records like Lou Reeds The Bells and Paul McCartneys Ram. Jurado creates his own Twilight Zone, a middle ground between light and shadow, a dimension of imagination, of half-remembered dreams and people reaching out to cross into that liminal space between heartbreak and wholeness. Jurado knows the territory well and knows the secret words to whisper at the right time. All is not lost/Even if youre without a direction. Just stick around till the light pushes into the darkness, Damien promises – or admits – Press your eye to the speaker, tune your ear to the horizon.
