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, ‘Over Rainbows and Rainier,’ which can be heard via the scenic, Jordan Halland-directed video HERE.
Listen to ‘Allocate’ below.
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.
