Damien Jurado and Richard Swift collaborated closely during a transformative period in Jurado’s career, producing a trilogy of albums: Maraqopa (2012), Brothers and Sisters of the Eternal Son (2014), and Visions of Us on the Land(2016). Swift’s lush, psychedelic production brought new depth and atmosphere to Jurado’s songwriting, moving it beyond traditional folk into expansive, otherworldly soundscapes. Their partnership was marked by mutual trust and creative freedom, with Swift acting as both a sonic architect and emotional guide, helping Jurado craft some of his most acclaimed and adventurous work.
