May 1, 2020One of his best albums and deserves better, confirming Damien Jurado to be an artist operating at the peak of his powers.
-
May 6, 2020For this 15th solo album, the songwriter beefs up his arrangements a tad, though only compared to the last album, not the lush psychedelic swirl of his Richard Swift-abetted Mariqopa records. Yet the songs remain plain and beautiful, their clean lines unfettered by too much volume or density, delivered in a voice that creaks sometimes but doesn’t falter as it runs up effortlessly into near falsetto range.

MojoApr 30, 2020It sounds as spare and intimate, as if Jurado were singing inside your head. The songs are up there with his best. [Jun 2020, p.91]
-
May 11, 2020Magical, mystifying and flush with finesse, it’s easily Jurado’s most enticing effort yet.
-
May 12, 2020Despite What’s New, Tomboy?’s enlivened arrangements, the most interesting element is his lyrics, packed with fragments of daily life and ruminations on death.
-
UncutApr 30, 2020The songwriter digs into the sound of his intense inner voice here. [Jun 2020, p.33]
-
May 1, 2020The full band arrangements are tastefully understated, and the 47-year-old sustains a mood of gentle sorrow and hard-earned wisdom that is easy on the ear. It is well trodden territory but Jurado is a class act.
