That would [...]

Artist: Damien Jurado Album: Caught In The Trees Release Date: 27/10/08 Label: Secretly Canadian Link: www.myspace.com/damienjurado Jurado's album is nicely schizophrenic. He plays the country boy, the pessimistic poet, Neil Young, Kurt Cobain…and that's only in the first five tracks. We get to see every facet of his personality in song form. All thirteen remind me of a different artist,.
New Wax Seattle's Damien Jurado has cemented himself as a veteran of indie folk-rock and his recent releases have been predominantly somber journeys so the more upbeat feel of his new album Caught In The Trees seems like a sensible respite for the songwriter.

Sorry to be so obtuse...but I am a bit tipsy and I had a revelation that I am not able to put into words right now.
