Album review: E.R. Jurken – ‘I Stand Corrected’: a psych-folk debut full of catharsis and melody

E.R. Jurken's first full missive into the world reveals quite the saddest tale at an angle, never telling, always hinting. It also shows an absolute grasp of songcraft, of melody, and an abiding love of British psych-pop and later American geniuses such as Neutral Milk Hotel and Elliott Smith
