Damien Jurado
Quiet records are usually described as comforting, which is a misreading of this particular catalog — thirty years of songs about disappearance, strangers, people driving away from something. Jurado writes them in a near-whisper, which is exactly what makes them unnerving rather than soothing. He has released an enormous amount of music with almost no interest in the machinery around it, and the audience that formed around that is correspondingly devoted and correspondingly quiet. Rooms go silent for this in a way they do not for louder acts. The high desert saloon, on a Thursday, with the door open to the cold and the patio empty during the set, is close to the ideal conditions. Music at 9:00 PM in Pioneertown. Writers like this pass through here regularly and the locals treat the schedule as something to plan a season around.
