damian jurado whats new tomboy

​Damian Jurado (from the album What’s New Tomboy available on Mama Bird Recording Company) 
What’s New, Tomboy is served up plain. No instrument theatrics, no vocal trickery, no overproduction. Gloriously void of hype, Damian Jurado’s latest release is delivered to the listener in a simple enough package to make you question ‘why’ and then, when What’s New Tomboy hangs around showing that Damien Jurado has created something you need in your life. “Birds Tricked into the Trees” starts What’s New, Tomboy with a strolling, take-a-walk-with-no-destination melody, Damien Jurado softly cooing ‘it shouldn’t be a surprise, to know I was here all along’. A statement in what could be taken as the kiss-off in a breakup tune is a subtle reminder of Damien Jurado and his prolific existence work.   
Damien Jurado tenderly finger-picks, slowly prodding the subtle and mysterious “Arthur Aware” and “Fool Maria” while programmed blips serve as sparse percussion on “When You Were Few”. A comforting song of companionship, “The End of the Road” finds Damien Jurado confessing ‘I’ve spent a lifetime looking for you’, going on to claim ‘the road it is long, I can’t go it alone’, finally admitting ‘I need you’. Simplistic and bare, What’s New Tomboy is an unadorned acoustic record presented to you in the form Damien Jurado, the friend parked next to you on the living room sofa and singing you a few songs. How all records should be.
