Daniel Johnston

Daniel exactly 21 years ago outside of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica a church in Paris dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus ⛪

It’s BANDCAMP FRIDAY, and not ONLY are we giving you the latest and greatest LP from JD PINKUS (“GROW A PEAR”), we’re also dropping our monthly addition to the DANIEL JOHNSTON IN THE 21ST CENTURY series... “LOST AND FOUND” Produced by Daniel’s dear friend BRIAN BEATTIE, this one goes where no previous Daniel Johnston LP has gone before. It starts right here on earth with Daniel’s bleeding Rock & Roll heart, and then it lifts off and goes around and around the world like a living rocket....a very special event in Daniel’s canon, and a very very special addition to his Bandcamp archive.

What better way to ring in yet another ‘Bandcamp Friday’ than with the 3rd installment of ‘DANIEL JOHNSTON in the 21st CENTURY’…                                          “FEAR YOURSELF” (produced by Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse) is now available for the very first time in 24bit lossless audio, re-Mastered by Kramer in loving memory of Daniel, who left us nearly 5 years ago. Originally released on Gammon Records in 2003, the 12 songs on this LP are some of the most intimately textured offerings of Daniel’s life. ‘Fear Yourself’ is an LP that stands high alongside Daniel’s very best, thanks in great part to the extraordinary talents of Mark Linkous.             p.s. there’s still time to subscribe to this ‘21st Century’ series, but this limited time offer won’t be available much long. So… don’t dally. @danieljohnstonarchive @hihowareyouofficial @danieljohnstonofficial #marklinkous #danieljohnston #bandcamp #banscampfriday #fearyourself #masteredbykramer @tomgimbel @donnygoede @joyfulnoiserecs
