Damien Jurado's Saint Bartlett

Comes out in May on Secretly Canadian (his ninth album) produced by label mate Richard Swift.  The first single Arkansas is highly recommended.  Download the free mp3 at Stereogum below.  I'm loving the sock-hop vibe and the fact we get to hear another stirring first person narrative from one of America's most talented, prolific and consistent songwriters.

Honestly, I recommend every single record he's put out without hesitation.  Each contains amazing songs and a cohesive aesthetic.  Sure you could collect his very best tracks on a long playlist, but I prefer to hear his albums from beginning to end the old fashioned way.  Often on vinyl.

If you haven't seen my short film Wow and Flutter, please download a hi-res QT of it at the link below.  Damien's wonderful song Saturday plays during the last scene and credits.
