    Give this one a chance. Quick and brisk at less than half an hour, the songs are deep and mirror the loss that Jurado has felt recently. Start, perhaps, with the stirringly beautiful “Throw Me Now Your Arms.”

    I count this record as a dear companion I intend to keep close for the rest of my days.

    Though probably not the best place for the uninitiated to start exploring the work of this often brilliant and evocative musician, at the same time, songs such as the aching South rank up there with his best. [Jul 2019, p.110]

    These 10 compact songs work both as intimate affirmation of Jurado's current brilliance and a hushed elegy for his too-soon-departed friend. [Jun 2019, p.89]

    Flourishes of soft rock and soul-pop have completely fizzled out. It's just Damien Jurado now, his thoughts laid bare, his voice perpetually trembling on the verge of collapse. It's deeply moving.
