Sub Pop artist Damien Jurado is embarking on a tour this month with Sub Pop songstress Rose Thomas, who recently collaborated with Jurado on a cover of Springsteen's "Wages of Sin" that appeared on a recent Sub Pop tribute to The Bruce. Jurado's most recent album, the folk-inflected Ghost of David was released last year to critical acclaim.

In a Dylan-esque turn, however, Jurado has assembled a rock-n-roll band complete with electric guitar and drums for this tour, in support of his new single-sided 7" EP on Burnt Toast Vinyl simply entitled Four Songs. The record, which is shipping to stores as we speak, features a short story by TNI Books head honcho Adam Voith. Not etched into the vinyl, mind you-- printed there. To read. It's not like he's stupid, people.
