Damien Jurado is a skilled musician and a talented lyricis, but his songwriting is far from the strongest there is. When he is conscious of that and keeps his songs either short or simple in structure, he shines. What's New, Tomboy? is a great example of him as an artist. It's is a short, concise, fair project of easy songs that could have been kept as acoustic as some of their predecessors in Jurado's discography. But stylistically, Damien approaches arrangement, tunes and narrative in a similar vein as his early works. Nothing wrong with taking influence from your
past, but it sounds as merely a Leonard Cohen-style collection of recently conceived songs that didn't necessarily need to be an album. Even if the minimalism and simplicity on occasion is charming.
