He often makes use of found sound and field recording techniques, and has experimented with different forms of tape recordings. In 2000 he released "Postcards and Audio Letters", a collection of found audio letters and fragments that he had found from sources such as thrift store tape players and answering machines. Also released in 2000 was "Ghost of David", Jurado's bleakest and most personal sounding record to date. "I Break Chairs" (2002) was produced by long-time friend, Pedro the Lion's David Bazan. It was his last album for Sub Pop, and was a much rockier, electric affair.
