The Seattle Times recently named Damien JuradoSeattle's folk-boom godfather. This title is a bit lofty, but well deserved. Since the mid 90's, Jurado has been enchanting the city and independent music circles with his wonderful lo-fi and hi-fi recordings. On his tenth album, Maraqupa, Jurado once again does not disappoint. Picking up musically where he left off on his last album Saint Barlett, Jurado moves to a darker space with a subtle but noticeable edge. This slightly altered space lends some additional weight to Jurado's lyrics and creates a different kind of emotional connection between his music and the listener than what I have experienced on past recordings. While Working Titles, maybe my favorite song on the album, Nothing Is The News, cannot be missed.

What I love about music is its power to transport me. Sometimes it’s unexpected, sometimes it’s exactly where I want to be. A single melody can unlock memories I didn’t realize I still carried, while certain chords or lyrics take me to another time or place. Some songs feel like home, offering shelter, while others deliver me to an unknown place or space, stirring emotions I can’t quite name. In this way, music isn’t just sound—it’s a sonic subway, delivering me to a station of refuge or one I never knew existed.
