A very quiet, intimate record that leans on Damien Jurado’s restrained voice, simple acoustic arrangements, and a heavy sense of loneliness.A good reference point is the stripped-down side of Elliott Smith or the hushed, reflective mood of Nick Drake, though Jurado sounds plainer and less ornate than either. Released in 2000 on Sub Pop, it sits in the early, stark phase of his catalog, before some of his later records broadened the sound.
