Biography

American indie/folk singer/songwriter and guitarist. His solo career began during the mid-1990s, releasing lo-fi folk based recordings on his own cassette-only label, [l188419]. Gaining a local cult following in Seattle, he was brought to the attention of Sub Pop Records by Sunny Day Real Estate singer [a=Jeremy Enigk]. His musical career is marked by periods of close collaboration with various musicians. - Until about "I break chairs" his work was closely linked to [a=Pedro The Lion] and [a=David Bazan]. - From then until "Caught In The Trees", [a=Eric Fischer] became his companion as a musician and producer, forming the band "Damien Jurado" with Fisher and [a=Jenna Conrad] on "Now That I'm In Your Shadow" and "Caught In The Trees". - The most significant change in sound came when he met the late [a=Richard Swift (2)], with whom he collaborated from "St. Bartlett" to "Visions Of Us On The Land." - From "The Horizon Just Laughed" to "Sometimes You Hurt The Ones You Hate", [a=Josh Gordon] has been his new musical partner. - Since ‘Motorcylce Madness’, his work has been closely associated with musician/producer [a=Sean Walcott] and a changing line-up of musicians, most notably [a=Lacey Brown (2)] and other musicians from Walcott's circle. In 2024, this resulted in a short-lived backing band called ‘[a=The Everett Assembly]’. - In the summer of 2024, he co-founded [l3853108], a mobile recording studio, with [a=Lacey Brown (2)]. Since then, he co-produces and arranges his songs with her. Other frequent contributors were the members of [a=Gathered In Song], [a=Rosie Thomas] and [a387255]. His full-length albums have been released on [l77343], [l35538], [l44370] and [l363414]. In 2021 he founded [l=Maraqopa Records]. From 2004 to 2007 he also co-ran [l77015].

LYRICS

Out from my window across from the city
I have what's considered a good view
Two blocks from the subway, three from the fountain
Where I walk to break in new shoes
She stands on the sidewalk just waving at taxis
Like horses in parades in passing
I ask where she's headed she tells me,
"Ohio, I've not seen my mother in ages
It's been a long time, a real long time."

Out from my window "How far is Ohio?"
She laughed and pointed out east
She said, "I grew up there with my dear mother
And I haven't seen her since thirteen.

You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping
By my father's hired man
We moved to city so far from my family
I haven't been back there since.
It's been a long time, a real long time."

Out from my window please hear me Ohio
Your daughter wants to come home
She longs to be with you to hug you to kiss you
To never leave her alone

And I've gotten know her to live with to love her
It's hard to see her leave
She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio
I wish she belonged to me

See you sometime, see you sometime
