I first saw Danielson in some Tooth and Nail video footage of the Cornerstone festival back in the mid-late 90s. To be frank, I didn’t get it. It was a gaggle of people dressed up in nurse outfits, the singer sang weird, and it just wasn’t “punk” enough for me. The truth is, I was just too immature to give it a shot.

Half a decade later, I was reintroduced to Danielson after really getting into Sufjan Stevens, and hearing of his ties to the band. I slowly started to get what it was that Daniel Smith was about, and what he was trying to do with his music. It finally clicked why he has such a fervent fanbase.

Today, Danielson releases a new 7-inch in partnership with Weathervane Music, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the social conscience with regards to independent music and artists’ rights, particularly in Philadelphia.

Check this video out too, for more of the technical info on the production process of Daniel Smith.
