Ghost of David
Label: Sub Pop
Catalog #: 70507
Ghost of David, the third album by Damien Jurado, is now available for pre-order on
vinyl and cassette for the first time. Originally released September 19th,
2000. Damien Jurado
is an urban-folk singer with his hand in the baskets of all the right fringe
genres. He’s a storyteller, and the stories have matured steadily since he
first appeared on the scene with the perfect balance of lighthearted pop
and saddest of the sad on his early singles and first full-length, Waters
Ave S. Since then, (with his second full-length, Rehearsals for Departure,
the Gather in Song EP (both from 1999), and this year’s collection of
found recordings, Postcards and Audio Letters) he’s moved more toward
the dark, and if you ask him, he’ll tell you point blank that it’s in the dark
where you’ll find us all.
