The pump is being primed, the fires are being stoked, fresh notebooks are being bought ... yes, pencils are sharpening! guitars are tuning! -- in short, work on the next Danielson album is about to commence! Since the release of his landmark Ships in 2006, Daniel Smith has acted as producer to a remarkable collection of albums from some of the most exciting musicians we know (Ben + Vesper, Wovenhand, Dan Zimmerman, mewithoutYou, Soul-Junk, Ortolan, and more). But new Danielson songs have been in the background the whole time, taking root, growing, and blooming like strange and beautiful plants, and the time has come for Smith to turn his attention to the music that has been calling his name for the last three years. What wonderful lyrics have been arranging themselves into chorus and verse? What curious sounds have been disrupting the usual patterns of wind and air in Clarksboro, New Jersey?

While you wait in eager anticipation to find out, you can satisfy your thirst for all things Danielson by checking out a great new extended interview with Daniel Smith by Matt Fink in Busted Halo.  Click here!  You can read it while you order tickets to the date that was just added to the Danielson Concert Calendar:

June 12
Toquet Hall, Westport CT (All Ages!)

ALSO...THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR SQUAWKIN'!:
The new limited-edition, custom-designed Danielson Shoe by John Fluevog is now in stores! Those who beheld these shoes with their own eyes during last November's Danielson tour can attest to the fact that never has a cooler piece of footwear graced a foot. Furthermore, any of the fine Danielson musicians who played on this tour can attest to the fact that never has a more comfortable piece of footwear graced a stage. They’re good for dinner parties! Weddings! Bowling Championships! Kicking around the house! Napping! Whatever the occasion, you'll want to wear them. Call your local Fluevog store to reserve your pair now. Get em' while they're hot, as there is no guarantee that more will be made!
