Mostly quiet, mid tempo indie folk. Damien Jurado has built a steady catalogue of music along that vein, showing a lot of restraint but rarely following an explicit song structure to keep things interesting. No FCCs. Recommended tracks: 5,6,9 1. 5:34 starts as spacious, mellow folk with vagabond electric guitar then starts wandering and getting atmospheric 2. 2:52 backing child harmonies kinda work, solid spacey folk 3. 3:43 soft acoustic guitar and vocals (and harmonies). 4. 4:00 laid back lounge vibe segues into something more cinematic 5. **4:32 slower song, with pleasant chorus that includes swirling sounds and a xylophone 6. **3:47 nice arrangement that includes subdued acoustic guitar, drums, finger snaps, and crooning harmonies. 7. 4:23 distant, spacey vibe at slow-mid pace 8. 2:32 emotive vocals with stronger alt-country influence 9. **2:51 quiet start, poppy mid tempo 10. 2:18 low key closer with familiar arrangement of acoustic & electric guitar & keys | ||
