I Break Chairs is my favorite Jurado record. Came across this album in grad school during a low point in my life (both personal and professional). The song “Inevitable” served as my anthem for perseverance. Love this record.
So going to this!
10 years via a mixtape in a friend’s car.
Through the last LP via Richard Swift, as I’m a big Swift fan.
Saint Bartlett through Richard Swift’s label!
It was “Just in time for Something,” the 5-track EP he cut on a 1967 tube-powered reel-to-reel on salvaged tape that sounded like he rescued it from a Salvation Army dumpster.
“Strong like an ox chained to a fence. I will not bend. Lucky I guess.”
Phenomenal EP and well worth digging up if you like your lo-fi with a side of no-fi and a steaming hot cup of noise floor. It still cant hide the beauty, though I love how he tried.
Already got my tickets. See you all there…
Just in time for something!! That EP is amazing and made me seek out everything else he’s recorded
