Our Take

Buckle up music lovers, because we are diving headfirst into the wonderfully wacky world of Daniel Johnston with "I Killed The Monster (The Songs Of Daniel Johnston)." This tribute album brings together a diverse group of artists, from newcomers to seasoned pros, all paying homage to the legendary singer-songwriter.

From the opening track, it's clear that this album is not for the faint-hearted. Johnston's unique blend of raw emotion and off-kilter melodies is not easy to replicate, but each artist brings their own twist to the table. Whether it's the haunting vocals of Angel Olsen on "True Love Will Find You in the End" or the lo-fi charm of Jeff Tweedy's take on "Worried Shoes," there is something here for everyone.

But what really sets this album apart is the sense of fun and mischief that runs through it. From the quirky instrumentation to the playful cover art, it's clear that these artists had a blast putting their own spin on Johnston's classic tunes. And while not every track hits the mark, the sheer enthusiasm and creativity on display make this a joy to listen to from start to finish.

So, grab your headphones, buckle up, and prepare to be whisked away into the weird and wonderful world of Daniel Johnston. This album may not be for everyone, but for those willing to take the plunge, it's a wild and unforgettable ride.
