Description:
Made in Mexico Records originally released Damien Jurado`s Gathered in Song EP on March 23, 1999. Minimal copies were pressed, and as a result this EP has become the most sought-after recording of Jurados career. Recorded live to a two-track tape machine in a room full of friends, the performance is raw, revealing, stark, and intimate. The reviews for this release were outstanding, and most critics favored it over his debut and even releases that came after. It is with great pleasure that we, the new Made in Mexico Records, re-release this EP along with demos that were recorded for 1999`s Rehearsals for Departure (Sub Pop) and 2003`s Where Shall You Take Me? (Secretly Canadian). These previously unreleased demos capture what Jurado considers to be his `most challenging and frustrating time as a musician.` Track Listing: Chevrolet/Simple Hello/Happy Birthday John/East Virginia/To Those Who Will Burn/Tragedy (Demo Version)/Happy Birthday John (Demo Version)/Matinee (Demo Version)/Saturday (Demo Version)/As You Wish (Previously Unreleased). (Made In Mexico)
