    Twenty-five years into it, Jurado can still write compelling, emotionally powerful songs driven by little more than his commanding voice and a stripped down acoustic guitar. But the unevenness of this record makes it a hard entry point for those unfamiliar with his work. Longtime fans of Jurado can still find enough to rally behind this one.

    The 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.

    La invisibilidad de Damien Jurado es hermosa y sensible. Es irónico decir esto cuando realmente no recomiendo escuchar este álbum. Realmente me da igual y el peligro es ese, la indiferencia sobre la existencia de éste álbum la provocó el mismo artista. No es un desperdicio, pero tampoco es una adición, no es especial pero tampoco irrelevante, es solo un espacio musical que podría decorar el fondo de una conversación sin estorbar, sin provocar la necesidad de detener la conversación y preguntar por la canción o embellecer la emoción de la convivencia. Producido por él mismo, esta es una simple muestra de música para dormir y no escuchar o simplemente poner en un Starbucks vacío.

    The invisibility of Damien Jurado is beautiful and sensible. It is ironic to say that when I wouldn't recommend hearing this album. It's the same if you hear it or not, and that'ss the danger: the indifference about the existence of this album is because of the musician. It's not waste nor a contribution, it's not special nor irrelevant, it's just a musical space that could embellish the background of a conversation without clogging or making the conversation to stop for asking the song's name. It doesn't even improve the emotion of the moment. Produced by himself, this is a simple abstract of music to sleep without listening to or simply to put on an empty Starbucks.    … Full Review »
