Search - Daniel Johnston & Jack Medicine :: Electric Ghosts

"Though one is a Motown legend and the other is an indie schizoid, Daniel Johnston has the same psychic aches and pains as the late Marvin Gaye. `The Trouble Man' was torn between the sacred and profane; Johnston is scared of girls and God. Both men lived with their parents beyond the age of 30." - SPIN "The iconoclastic Johnston has long been a favorite on the alternative rock scene." - ROLLING STONE "He's my favorite songwriter." - Matt Groening, creator, THE SIMPSONS "Most songwriters would give anything to have written one song as good as any Daniel Johnston tune...and he has hundreds." - DEAN WEEN, WEEN "A Daniel Johnston song can leave you speechless." - Mark Linkous, Sparklehorse 2006 is sure to be a big year for Daniel Johnston. A Sony Picture Classics documentary of his life is being released internationally on March 31, and is currently in the final stages of being chosen for an Academy Award nomination. His fan base has, once again, swollen substantially, and gallery showings of his artwork in the U.S. and Europe are establishing him as a highly collectible physical artist. The Electric Ghosts is a side project that Johnston and his tour manager/Hyperjinx Tricycle bandmate created while touring the U.S., playing shows and searching for salvation.
