All Danielson, All the Time!

Monday, September 29th, 2008

We are pleased to mark the beginning of a season in which we look back upon and celebrate some of our favorite Danielson titles from a rich back catalog that has spanned over a decade. This epic journey of retrospection begins with the vinyl reissues of …

Choppin' Block


Tell Another Joke At The
Ol’ Choppin’ Block

and…

Compass Kids Album Cover

Fetch The Compass Kids

(both of these titles are being released on
Secretly Canadian)

AND…

Alpha Album Cover
Omega Album Cover


Tri-Danielson!!!
(Alpha/Omega)

(being released on Sounds Familyre)

In addition to being back in print for the first time since 2001, these reissues have some unique attributes. Tell Another Joke At The Ol’ Choppin’ Block is now available as a 2×12″ LP format (as opposed to the 2×10″ format in which it debuted) and includes four bonus songs from a live WFMU session from 1996. Tri-Danielson!!! (Alpha/Omega) has been partially remixed, fully remastered, and makes its vinyl return dressed up in a brilliant new gatefold jacket along with a very special bonus track.

These reissues, along with lots of other wonderful goodies to be rolled out out over the next month and a half (brand new videos, unreleased mp3s from live shows, radio sessions, and much much more), will culminate November 4th (December 1st in the UK) with the release of…

Trying Hartz Album Cover

Trying Hartz (First Fruits ’94-’04), a two-disc retrospective of the first ten years of Danielson’s body of work. Aside from fan favorite album tracks, it includes previously difficult-to-find songs, alternate takes, new intros & outros, and a few very choice live recordings!

Believe it or not, that’s not all! Secretly Canadian is now offering a BRAND NEW, TOTALLY FREE EP from Danielson called Danielson ALIVE!! Click the fruit of your choice in the tree below to download the entire thing!

Danielson Alive!

To continue the celebration EVEN FURTHER, the first domestic Danielson tour in over two years will happen in November (starting Halloween night at the Knitting Factory in NYC). Sheesh…so much Danielson goodness. For more details on the tour and other items, click here, and in the meantime, start celebrating!
