Editorial Reviews
"Damien Jurado finds no greater catharsis than exploring these sorrowful points of human struggling and injecting them with a sense of heroism." - CMJ
"Damien Jurado is back to doing what he does best--pairing simple, sprightly arrangements with mobile vocal melodies." - PITCHFORK
"Damien Jurado entertains a fascination with life's darker corners ... the cobweb-filled pockets of misery and evil lining the pages of Chuck Palahniuk and Bret Easton Ellis novels." - PASTE
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 Jurado's 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."

Not a Good Album,

This review is from: Gathered in Song (Audio CD)
I'm a Damien Jurado fan, but this is not a strong album at all; the cover art and title are the only appealing aspects. You would be much better off ordering one of his other albums, like Rehearsals for Departure or Water Ave S. A few of the songs on Gathered in Song sound like early recordings for songs on RFD, and they sound much better on RFD. He's a great artist; this just isn't a good album.

I just want to thank Damien Jurado for re-releasing this e.p., with extras. I love it; and if you are a fan of Damien you know as well as I do, that he doesn't put out a bad album....so, buy it now.
