Other frequent contributors were the members of [a=Gathered In Song], [a=Rosie Thomas] and [a387255].

The label's distribution is handled by Redeye, ensuring that Jurado's music reaches a wide audience.

25 years since his debut album Waters Ave S. came out, Jurado is more prolific, driven and creative than ever. The twelve mystical songs on Reggae Film Star are gorgeously cinematic and feature a rich production and diverse sonic textures. Reggae Film Star was produced by Damien Jurado at Sonikwire in Irvine, CA, with invaluable help from the dream team of multi instrumentalist Josh Gordon and recording engineer Alex Bush. The album was mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound.
