The Fat Angel Sings

Damien Jurado superb album “Brothers and Sisters of the Eternal Son” a bit like a cult. The cover looks a bit like the home of one, too. Even song names sound like cult members: “Silver Timothy”, “Silver Donna”, Silver Malcolm, Silver Katherine and Silver Joy. And maybe that’s a start for describing this, Damien Jurado’s third effort with Richard Swift. It’s lightly tethered to reality, while searching for new opportunities just beyond reality’s realm. “Eternal Son” feels like last year’s “Maraqopa” dialed back a bit. Less assertive instrumentation, for a more tripped out, ethereal folk. Standout track is the lounge cult  “Silver Timothy.”
