Nearly 20 years into his tenure as a prominent Pacific Northwest punk-turned-beloved folk-leaning songwriter, Jurado is still perfecting his mixture of barely restrained angst and carefully strategized tranquility. CAUGHT IN THE TREES continues to evoke the ghosts of his peers, Kurt Cobain and Elliott Smith, but is neither as hopeless as the former nor as vulnerable as the latter. The guitars get louder on standout tracks like "Caskets," but the sweetness on display during "Gillian Was A Horse" and the engaging sadness laid bare on "Last Rights" (both given an even more sympathetic air by Jenny Conrad's co-vocals) border on stunning.
Recording information: Metal Camp; VU.
Personnel: Casey Foubert (piano, bass instrument, drums, percussion); David Broecker (bass instrument); Jenna Conrad, Eric Fisher.
Audio Mixer: Kory Kruckenberg.
Alternative Press (p.153) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Brittle guitars and Jurado's soothing, sympathetic voice work in tandem with strident percussion and the occasional string part or electric flourish."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "It's a beautifully rounded affair...sometime elegiac, at other times uplifting, no matter how dark its heart."
Paste (magazine) (p.60) - "TREES alternates between lean, biting folk-rock and haunting ballads that seem to float up from deep, dark wells."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[The album] features a rock solid outing from backing bandmates Jenna Conrad and Eric Fisher supporting some of Jurado's best songwriting to date..." Caught In The Trees Music Damien Jurado Caught In The Trees Songs Caught In The Trees Music Caught In The Trees Review

â– BIOGRAPHY & Liner notesKaoru Azuma performed jazz vocal in her hometown of Osaka, Japan. But she realized that to get to the heart of the music, to understand the culture in which it was born and to master the nuances of the language, she had to continue her studies in New York City, the capital of jazz. In 2003, Kaoru enrolled in the jazz studies program at the City College of New York (CUNY), where she became immersed in the study of jazz theory, history, arranging, English diction, improvisation and vocal technique. The melting pot of New York City changed her profoundly; according to Kaoru "it opened my mind and let me know who I am." She discovered herself and had a story to tell through her music. After receiving her BFA degree from City College, Kaoru began performing in clubs around New York, but the needs of her family have drawn her back to Osaka. The CD, "Footprints in New York," is her dedication and farewell to the city that taught her so much about American jazz. "High Wire" by Chick Corea was originally recorded with vocalist Chaka Khanon Chick's Echoes of an Era, but Kaoru's arrangement gives it a new twist.Kaoru learned Bird's ...

A UK based producer since 1994, experiencing most success between 1997-2000 (founder and engineer of the group “Pink Bomb”), with the tracks: Indica, Aftershock and Pink Bomb (Quad Communications / Global Underground). Remixes included projects for Perfecto (Tilt – I dream), Heat/Polydor (Moonman – Don’t be afraid), Bonzai UK (Return of the native – Da After) and Ishq Records (Bally Sagoo -Hai Hai). Other publishing deals included licensing for Playstation games and compilation albums (Ministry of sound, Trance Nation, Global Underground etc). Appearances included repeated play on national radio (BBC Radio 1).Since 2006, after a lengthy break from the scene, he has been working on a new back-catalogue in the run-up to the release of his debut album “Passengers” – an eclectic and unique mix of pop, dance, hip-hop and ambient tracks to suit any mood. The album is to be released through the newly-created independent label: China Red Media (UK).Reviews:What about us:Although the name is new to me, the music certainly told a much older tale. Here is a musician who has been around polishing up his craft for some considerable time, even the merest drive-by of a listen will confirm that. When I read on his page that he started making online music in 1992, I recognised a fellow tracker. A lot of musicians (including yours truly) cut their musical teeth in this fledgling online music scene, many of which are now rightly famed. What it instilled in us - more than anything else - is an inordinate attention to detail. Listen, when most of the music you made was in code, you HAD to pay attention to the little details. What About Us is a perfect example of that discipline paying off in the long run. A pop track that raises influences such as ELO, Howard Jones and others, What About Us is about as close as you are going to get (in an unsigned sense) to the real deal, it\'s so commercial it should be wearing a shirt and tie. With it\'s knowing wink at the 1980\'s electro-pop scene, What About Us is the kind of track you take up and treasure. Class production, excellent performances and one of the strongest pop songs you are likely to hear on Soundclick or anywhere else. Absolutely first class. MUST HAVE Pop. Steve Gilmore (soundclick)Broken:Broken is listed as \'ambient electronica\'. One thing I have noticed about Soundclick is there is a LOT of music placed in genres that they just don\'t belong in. This song is NOT one of them. What you get here is EXACTLY as promised but better. I must admit the first few seconds it started out with a bit of a droning string that was a bit discordant and I thought for just ...
