#096 Damien Jurado - Saint Bartlett

Pitchfork'd!

I actually listened to this a while back, it should be #091 I think, but it somehow slipped through the cracks. Not really my thing - its a lush bit of singer songwritterey composition that's pretty, but just isn't adventurous enough for my tastes. His voice reminds me a lot of Grandaddy, who I do like, but that stuff benefited from a lot of interesting electronic turns, whereas this is a lot more straightforward. Again, its lush, sweeping emotional turns and cavernous reverb-dripping spaces, but that sort of thing doesn't move me overmuch these days 2.5/5
