Album Notes & Community Reviews

Concluding a conceptual, psychedelic folk trilogy produced entirely by the late Richard Swift, Jurado delivers a sweeping, enigmatic 17-track opus. The narrative follows a protagonist wandering across a desolate, post-apocalyptic American landscape, mirrored by lush acoustic guitars, vintage tape echo, and eerie, sun-drenched atmospheres. It solidified the Jurado/Swift partnership as one of the most fruitful in modern independent music.
