DAMIEN JURADO DEBUTS NEW SONG “ALLOCATE,” OFF NEW ALBUM THE HORIZON JUST LAUGHED OUT MAY 4TH, 2018
MAY/JUNE ‘OVER RAINBOWS’ NORTH AMERICAN TOUR &
FALL UK/EU TOUR
Secretly Canadian
“Once I was lost and I never came back.”
Damien Jurado today debuted a new song, “Allocate,” off his forthcoming album The Horizon Just Laughed, due out May 4th, 2018 via Secretly Canadian. The track follows the early March release of first single, Jordan Halland-directed video “Over Rainbows and Rainier,” The Horizon Just Laughed will be available for purchase on May 4th and available to stream via Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora on July 6th, 2018; the album can be pre-ordered now HERE.
Like previous albums, The Horizon Just Laughed started with a dream. Though, that’s where things change, as they often do. It is Damien Jurado’s first self-produced album in a 20+ year career, more personal and more rooted than even his “Maraqopa” trilogy, as though after so much time on the road he’s stumbled upon his home (quoting Claire Carey Deering’s album bio).
The album feels like a beautiful collage — its narrative pieced together through letters and postcards, with each part contributing to its greater whole, and providing snapshots of one’s journey to find a sense of place and connection to a changing world.
The 11 tracks that form The Horizon Just Laughed were recorded with Alex Bush in Irvine, CA’s Sonikwire Studio in February and April 2017.
Jurado will head out on the ‘Over Rainbows’ North American tour in support of The Horizon Just Laughed next month, beginning May 11th in Bloomington, IN. The tour continues through June 4th in Vancouver, BC and includes a May 24th Brooklyn, NY, show at Murmrr Theatre and a May 28th show Los Angeles, CA at Highland Park Ebell.
