Damien Jurado is hooking back up with Richard Swift to unleash the follow-up to last year’s Saint Bartlett (TMT Review). You can look at the backs of their necks in black-and-white and pretend you’re spying on them while they make a song by clicking here. Jurado’s either named the new project after a proud Arizona town or (more likely) his Twitter handle, Maraqopa, to really give himself a leg up with an intelligent social networking push.
The new album will see release on February 21, 2012 through Secretly Canadian, but for now you can hear “Nothing is the News” right here:
