Press Release from
Secretly Canadian Records:
The mp3 for the great "Museum of Flight" - the second single from Damien Jurado's upcoming record, Maraqopa. "The track turns desperation into something quite beautiful with patient strumming, elegant piano stabs, strong melody and a wash of expert guitar lead."
Click here to download and embed "Museum of FlightDamien will tour Europe and the US late this winter and spring. First, he's performing with a full band on the West Coast with openers Peter Wolf Crier. Then he'll perform as a solo act on the East Coast with Opener JBM. All dates are listed below.
Today Marqopa is available for purchase at SC Distribution. We have three bundles described in detail below, and all come with an instant download with your order.
Several great songs from the Maraqopa sessions did not fit on to the album, so Secretly Canadian is releasing six of them via special 7"s that will come with pre-orders of the record. 7"s will be randomly inserted into the regular edition bundles, but the deluxe edition will include all three 7"s. What songs you receive will be a surprise, unless you decide to buy them all!
Blue 7" "Wyoming Songbirds" / "Ghost of David (The Return)"
Red 7" "Clouds Beyond" / "Let Us All In"
Yellow 7" "Diamond Sea" / "Pentagrams"

"Nothing is the News"
from Maraqopa (out 2/21/12)
"Maraqopa is a record packed full of dreamy tracks, so all you have to do is sit back and let your imagination take control."
BUST
"It's a testament to Jurado's easy, mournful singing voice and his solidity as a songwriter that he can make such stylistic jumps sound immediately like his own."
Seattle Weekly
"A good next chapter for Jurado — a sturdy construction filled with hazey blues."
