VINYL FORMAT. Throughout his career, Jurado has released a mess of singles, EPs and three previous full-length albums, and with I Break Chairs, a new batch of songs comes to light. In what's quickly becoming the only true Jurado style, the record heads off in new directions, with a full band called Gathered in Song filling out and styling his folky lyrical approach and straightforward guitar playing into perfect pop gems.


Thematically, Damien visits ground fans will be familiar with: friends disappointed, abandoned whores and mermaids, boys ditching their girls, and with ?Like Titanic,? he weaves a modern-day love story Hollywood could never get quite right, in which two broke youngsters escape boredom by trespassing, wrecking cars, setting fires, popping pills and telling lies. Tracks like ?The Way You Look? and ?Big Deal? will have you off your ass, wanting to dance and sing along, but don't be fooled: the harrowing backdrop of ?Airshow Disaster? and ?Lose My Head? will remind you that Damien breaks more than chairs, so watch out for your heart.
