"This record is a whole, not a collection of parts. It is the musical manifestation of everything that drives Dan in his life, a rousing call to arms delivered with high-voltage panache, a startling symbol of the bounty you stand to reap when you tend your garden with unwavering dedication, unrushed and unencumbered by anyone’s code but your own.
"The record pulses with all the things he prizes as priceless commodities - love, family, friendship, loyalty, respect, tradition, generosity of spirit, monster jamming with space cadet mates on the same astral plane. Dan’s songs deserve this record. He is a consummate writer of stirring bangers made for long drives in sleek V8s, rollicking anthems in the great Springsteen and Seger tradition, tender lullabies to soothe mother and child in their exhaustion under the light of the silvery moon, soul-stirring bareback balltearers with hooks like Smokin’ Joe Frazier and smoother moves than a Swiss watch.
"His Johnston City brothers and sisters are guns, the lot of them. They leave egos at the door in service to these grand songs. Together they are a mighty force. Together they have conjured and captured the humanity that binds all of us who rage against the dying of the light in these fraught times when money is religion and the vacuous are feted as gods. Together they have rocked the Casbah and made light work of rolling the stone that haunted Sisyphus. Together they have shared in the spoils of their own Shangri-La and grown a record that will stand the test of time."

About the artist
Johnston City
Johnston City is the dream band of Dashville native Daniel T Johnston, a star-studded assemblage of fellow travellers who collaborate and deliver his classic rock’n’roll bangers with something bordering on telepathy. JC have been slowly but surely building a cult following with their anthemic, sweetly swaying yet classically muscular sound that owes as much to the subtleties of vocal doo-wop groups of the ‘60s as it does to the sledgehammer barn-burners of Springsteen and Seger. The measure of an original band is how they can hook a new crowd with that familiar warm and fuzzy feeling, even though they are hearing the tunes for the first time. Johnston City have that feelgood juice by the bucketload. Their long-awaited debut long player, 'Decies Pride', is in the bag after a magical sojourn at Grove Studios with the extended family - under the cosmic ears of producer Adam Young and engineer Damien Charles - and will be released in 2025.
