Since the massive Visions of Us On The Land — his final record produced by the late great Richard Swift — Damien Jurado has been on a prolific boom with a collection of beautiful, self-produced records. His latest, Reggae Film Star, surrounds stories of studio backlot drama, the lives of the key grips, the character actors, the camera operators, the ones who rarely get entire albums dedicated to their stories. The arrangements stay direct and refuse to go flashy; usually a combination of acoustic guitar, drums, and the loping bass of Josh Gordon. But combined with the occasional string section and Jurado’s incredible voice these deceptively simple songs reveal entire universes of somber majesty. He truly cannot keep getting away with this, he just refuses to miss.
