On My Way To Absence

DAMIEN JURADO\'s sixth album, \'On My Way To Absence\', following on from 2003\'s beautiful \'Where Shall You Take Me\' (SRP020), is in no uncertain terms a significant release for the Seattle singer/songwriter.
Aesthetically it\'s the broadest album he has produced to date; some songs crafted from ostensibly simple means, just voice and guitar, others are seeped in layers of strings, buried beats, and even sonic textures and nuances. Here, Jurado\'s songs are arguably darker than ever; his contemporary tales of betrayal, desire and loss leave a lingering taste recalling SPRINGSTEEN\'s \"Nebraska\". \'Where Shall You Take Me\' led to a real growth in the profile of Damien Jurado internationally. He was revered as one of the THE finest contemporary songwriters by UNCUT, and lauded by MOJO. Signed to SECRETLY CANADIAN (SONGS:OHIA, ANTONY & THE JOHNSONS, JENSLEKMAN..) in the US (and SUB POP prior to that), Damien Jurado is for sure one of the most important musicians of the current era alongside the likes of WILL OLDHAM, RICHARD BUCKNER, (SMOG), BRIGHT EYES, and IRON & WINE.
Reviews for \'Where Shall You Take Me\': THE SUNDAY TIMES (UK) \"...miserably magnificent songs.\"... UNCUT (((( \'\'Ten songs of dark and disturbing genius..\'... MAGNET \'The World could do with more Damien Jurado\'s.\'...ROLLING STONE (((( \"\'On My Way to Absence\' is by far the
songwriter\'s most accomplished set; he has worked lush, textured atmosphere into the lofi setting, yet still maintaining a distinctive intimacy and introspection.\"
