| Spend any amount of time with Damien Jurado and heÆs going to talk |
| with you about movies. Speaking about the films that influenced |
| his 14th album, the solitary masterwork In the Shape of a Storm, |
| Jurado tosses out a list of favoritesùAmerican Graffiti, Paris, |
| Texas, The Last Picture Showùfilms in which settings serve as |
| silent, omniscient characters. But inquire about the curious way |
| he writes songs, the hazy manner by which he seems to channel them |
| from beyond the beyond, and the cinematic reference point he |
| reaches for is a surprising one. ôYou ever see that movie Ghost? |
| Whoopi GoldbergÆs character, Oda Mae BrownùthatÆs who I am. These |
| spirits are showing up at her door, jumping into her body. ThatÆs |
| how I feel. I donÆt know whatÆs coming out of meàI just show up |
| and deliver it.ö |
| |
| For more than two decades, Jurado has sung folk songs brimming |
| with prophetic imagination. Whether singing ballads about killers, |
| wounded lovers, UFO cults, or yes, the phantoms of departed |
| friends, heÆs populated his work with eerie foretelling, the sense |
| that heÆs divining something just on the verge of happening. He |
| wrote his last record, 2018Æs The Horizon Just Laughedas a goodbye |
| letter to his home of Seattle, Washington, before heÆd even |
| decided to leave there for sunny Los Angeles. And while he |
| recorded the ten songs featured on In the Shape of a Stormmonths |
| before the passing of his longtime collaborator and close friend |
| Richard Swift, itÆs no coincidence that SwiftÆs death looms over |
| the album. ôHis absence is very much felt on this record,ö Jurado |
| says. |
| |
| Damien has always worked fast, but In the Shape of a Stormcame |
| together with unprecedented speed. Recorded over the course of two |
| hours one California afternoon, itÆs JuradoÆs sparsest album to |
| date. Gone are the thundering drums and psychedelic arrangements |
| that defined the trilogy of concept albums he made with Swift. |
| Gone even is the atmospheric air that hovered above his early |
| albums for Sub Pop. Here, thereÆs only JuradoÆs voice, acoustic |
| guitar, and occasional accompaniment from Josh Gordon, playing a |
| high-strung guitar tuned Nashville style, rendering its sound |
| spooky and celestial. Though fans have long requested a solo |
| acoustic album, the prospect never made sense to Jurado, until one |
| day it simply did. ôIt just felt like it was time,ö Jurado says. |
| The idea of an unadorned album became its own medium in his mind, |
| like a painter who sets down his brushes and instead opts for |
| charcoal pencils instead. |
| |
| ôThere is nothing left to hide,ö Jurado sings on ôLincoln,ö which |
| opens the record. ItÆs something of a thesis statement for these |
| songs. Everything here is clear and laid bare, two-tone, like the |
| drawing Jurado crafted for the recordÆs cover. Originally written |
| for 2000Æs The Ghost of David, ôLincolnö was shelved and forgotten |
| about until Damien came across it on an old cassette tape. The |
| discovery inspired him to go about gathering up songs that had |
| never found proper homes. As a result, In the Shape of a Stormis |
| like an archive of previously abandoned songs. And yet, despite |
| their disparate nature, JuradoÆs visions hang together in |
| curiously symmetrical ways: the moon shines in both the |
| echo-drenched ôSilver Ballö and closer ôHands on the Tableö; rain |
| ties the title song to the lilting ôOh Weather.ö Jurado repeatedly |
| returns to oceanic poetryùwaves, tides, and shoresùand to the |
| theme of anchors, the metaphorical ones we use to tether ourselves |
| to the sea floor and to each other. These are songs about the |
| enormity of the unknown ù the shape of storms that threaten to |
| swallow us wholeù and above all, they are songs about the |
| connections that keep us from drifting away. ôWe are not meant to |
| be on our own,ö Jurado sings on ôThrow Me Now Your Arms.ö |
| |
| Damien JuradoÆs discography is filled with songs written as |
| miniature movies, cinematic vignettes that capture people, the |
| places they are from, and where they are going. In the Shape of a |
| Stormis his first black and white picture. ItÆs both a snapshot of |
| two hours in a California recording studio and a document spanning |
| 19 years and a life of music. It is the sound of a singer pouring |
| out possible futures and visions. ôI believe songs have their own |
| time and place,ö Jurado says. For these ten, that time has finally |
| come. |
