Our Take

Daniel Johnston's latest album, "Is And Always Was," is a quirky yet haunting journey through the mind of a musical genius. Known for his lo-fi production style and heartfelt lyrics, Johnston continues to captivate listeners with his raw talent and brutal honesty.

From the opening track "Mind Contorted," Johnston immediately draws you in with his simple guitar chords and haunting vocals. His lyrics, filled with references to love, loss, and mental illness, showcase his unique perspective on life and art. Tracks like "High Horse" and "Queenie The Doggie" delve into Johnston's personal struggles and victories, creating a deeply emotional and introspective listening experience.

Despite its personal nature, "Is And Always Was" manages to maintain a sense of playfulness and wit throughout. Johnston's off-kilter melodies and charmingly imperfect vocals add a touch of whimsy to even the darkest of tracks. The album's production, helmed by the legendary Jason Falkner, elevates Johnston's songwriting to new heights, creating a lush and dynamic sound that is sure to resonate with fans old and new.

Overall, "Is And Always Was" is a triumph for Daniel Johnston, showcasing his unique talent and unapologetic honesty. With its blend of heartbreaking ballads and infectious pop hooks, this album is a must-listen for anyone craving something truly original in today's music landscape. Daniel Johnston may be gone, but his legacy lives on through this exceptional record.
