Albums of 2016 - 33. DAMIEN JURADO - VISIONS OF US ON THE LAND
33. DAMIEN JURADO - VISIONS OF US ON THE LAND
I just read that this is the twelfth album for Jurado. Woweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Like the title would suggest, this sounds like a road-trip kind of album. However, don't let that distract you because it's not that shallow; this is a trip of grandeur and rugged terrain.
Like many of the albums on this choc-a-bloc countdown, I'm giving it a couple of spins to really feel the aesthetic - and here we have dusty, yet refined and raw, yet cinematic.
There are 17 tracks here to feed on, feed on, feed on, feed off. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm.
This guy could certo become one of my favourite singer-songwriters and how lovely to have such a big back catalogue to explore. Things are looking uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppppppppppppppppppppppp.
There's no filler on this album like there is in this article.

albums of 2012 - 5. Perfume Genius - Put Your Back N 2 It
5. PERFUME GENIUS - PUT YOUR BACK N 2 IT
Doing the annual visit back to the UK always yields interesting opportunities and for me, in 2012, I grabbed the chance to see this band live with both hands. What resulted was one of the tenderest performances I have ever seen. The voice is tender and wobbly and times, but soars at others.
The closest point of comparison I can give for Seattle's Perfume Genius would be Bright Eyes or Phil Collins - there is a certainly an 80's feel to this sophomore outing- but all in all, it seems that Mike Hadreas and his boyfriend managed to lay down they own ethereal concoction that evolved the sound and the overall quality. Perfume genius; it's impossible to forget the name and the music for shizzle, though the name of the album title is somewhat misleading, especially when this is music for softies!!!
