Not only does the year mark the songwriter's 50th birthday, but it also sees the summer release of his 18th studio album, the impressionistic and tuneful Reggae Film Star. And hang on, there's more: on September 23rd, 2022 Sub Pop Records reissues Jurado's debut full-length, 1997's Waters Ave S. The work of a young artist driven by complex inner visions, the LP offers a fresh chance to examine how far Jurado has come in the 25 years since it's release-but also demonstrates how much of his point of view and vivid scenecraft was firmly in place from the very start.\u003c\/p\u003eA veteran of the DIY punk and hardcore scenes, Jurado had begun taking steps into the world of lo-fi home recording. But with renowned indie rock producer Steve Fisk acting as producer, Waters Ave S introduced Jurado to the independent music world, presenting a set of 13 songs that encompass odes to remote desert outposts, late-night conversations with Elvis, a purple anteater, and the great beyond. Though new to the studio, Jurado's storytelling lens is well honed; these compositions are filled with characters wandering the psychic wilderness, flawed but nonetheless certain of themselves, or at least certain enough. Those only familiar with Jurado's ambient-tinged folk or AM gold psychedelia will find the album more punky than expected, replete with post-punk basslines, electric guitars, and a youthful tenor to Jurado's voice. But what's most striking about the record is how fully-formed his world is, especially on songs like the lilting, drum-looped \"Angel of May,\" the sci-fi \"Space Age Mom,\" and mournful simplicity of the title track. Jurado was just getting started, but the path he'd follow seems laid out by Waters Ave S. 25 years later, it's clear that the creative spirit that fuels this idiosyncratic and exuberant record is one that still propels Jurado to this day.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"aec-musictabs\" class=\"ui-tabs ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ui-tabs-nav ui-helper-reset ui-helper-clearfix ui-widget-header ui-corner-all\" role=\"tablist\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"ui-state-default ui-corner-top ui-tabs-active ui-state-active\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"mt-1\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" aria-selected=\"true\" aria-expanded=\"true\" tabindex=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mt-1\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"aec-jukebox\" class=\"tracksonly\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"jp-playlist tracksonly\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Wedding Cake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Angel of May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Treasures of Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Yuma, Az\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e The Joke Is Over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e Space Age Mom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e Circus, Circus, Circus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e Hell or Highwater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9\u003c\/span\u003e Independent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10\u003c\/span\u003e Purple Anteater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e11\u003c\/span\u003e Sarah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12\u003c\/span\u003e Halo Friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e13\u003c\/span\u003e Waters Ave S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54238793105749,"sku":null,"price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/9711\/0869\/files\/discounted-damien-jurado-waters-ave-s-blue-vinyl-new-vinyl-lp-222251.jpg?v=1782714720","url":"https:\/\/vinylalpine.com\/products\/discounted-damien-jurado-waters-ave-s-blue-vinyl-new-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
