One of the most underrated modern-day singer/songwriters, Damien Jurado, is out with his thirteenth album The Horizon Just Laughed. Following the successful collaboration with the late Richard Swift, which yielded among other records, Maraqopa, Jurado returns to a simpler, stripped-down sound for his first self-produced album. Armed with an acoustic guitar and his signature tales filled with the lives of unforgettable characters and the places they’ve been, the collection of eleven tracks are among the best Jurado has crafted to date in his over a twenty-year career. Standouts include opener “Allocate”; “Lou-Jean”; and closer “Random Fearless.” – Written by SMarx
