The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania is Damien Jurado's first release on his own label, Maraqopa Records. The album contains ten intense stories of people determined not to be broken by dire circumstances. The self-produced album is sonically among Damien Jurado's most exposed, homespun ambiance and inspired by the dry sound of records like Lou Reed's The Bells and Paul McCartney's Ram. Jurado creates his own Twilight Zone, 'a middle ground between light and shadow', a dimension of imagination, of half-remembered dreams and people reaching out to cross into that liminal space between heartbreak and wholeness. Jurado knows the territory well and knows the secret words to whisper at the right time. 'All is not lost/Even if you're without a direction.' 'Just stick around till the light pushes into the darkness,' Damien promises - or admits - Press your eye to the speaker, tune your ear to the horizon..
