The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania

Damien Jurado’s unique songwriting talents dazzle on The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania

Damien Jurado's fourth in a string of self-produced albums, The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania is the third straight to feature only multi-instrumentalist Josh Gordon at his side.

On his fourth record in the past three years, Damien Jurado returns to do exactly what is expected of him—create aching portraits of desperate people who are struggling against a hopeless world that will not stop for them.

Damien Jurado presents a collection of ten beguilingly potent song-stories about individuals determined not to be broken by gray circumstances.
