Last year saw the release of cartoon fanatic Daniel Johnston’s first ever comic book ‘Space Ducks: An Infinite Comic Book of Musical Greatness’. Johnston has always drawn comics but this marked his first book publishing.
To celebrate the release, Johnston also put together a soundtrack for the book – his first new album since 2009. The soundtrack includes seven unreleased tracks by Daniel as well as new tracks from Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Jake Bugg, Die Mason Die, Eleanor Friedberger, Deer Tick and Fruit Bats. All songs have been themed around ‘Space Ducks’ and the soundtrack will be released on 22nd April (a limited edition vinyl will be released on April 20th, Record Store Day) through Feraltone.
The physical release of the soundtrack includes an edited 24-page version of the cartoon.
