The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania (CD)
Damien Jurado
Amoeba Review
Fans should find lots to love on Damien Jurado’s latest, The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania. Tip-toeing that precarious line between Jurado’s warm, lived-in sound, and his devastating, plainspoken lyrics, it’s a ten song ode to people who get knocked down, dust themselves off, and keep pressing forward. If this sounds like the album we all need right now, well, you’re right. The first release on Jurado’s own Maraqopa Records, The Monster takes inspiration from the high-and-lows of daily life and finds beauty in all of it. Smart, heartfelt, and resonant, it’s a record that reveals more and more of its depth with each spin.
