I Killed the Monster: 21 Artists Performing the Songs of Daniel Johnston

I Killed the Monster marks the triumphant return of Shimmy-Disc, reborn for the twenty-first century as Second-Shimmy. After a five-year hiatus, Kramer returns with a brilliant twenty-one-song compilation of tunes written by his good friend Daniel Johnston, whose classic LPs 1990 and Artistic Vice Kramer produced in the late eighties. Each track features standout performances by some of indie music's brightest stars, and many feature Kramer's unmistakable prowess as one his generation's most celebrated producers/arrangers. Few artists have been where Kramer has been, or worked with the variety of artists he has, and this debut release on his new Second-Shimmy label marks the birth of a new era of great music to come.
