The new Daniel Johnston project ‘Space Ducks’ is streaming online – listen to it below.
Rightly lauded for his idiosyncratic songwriting, Daniel Johnston is also a fantastic illustrator. Recently confirming plans for an ambitious graphic novel, ‘Space Ducks’ encompasses his love of both music and comic books.
‘SPACE DUCKS: AN INFINITE COMIC BOOK OF MUSICAL GREATNESS’ will be complimented by a standalone album and an iPhone app. A typically imaginative work, the graphic novel was launched last month at SXSW during an invitation only show.
Now available to buy, the graphic novel is accompanied by a separate album featuring contributions from Eleanor Friedberger and more.
Stream the ‘Space Ducks’ album in its entirety below.

It’s also a little known fact that ClashMusic once tracked Daniel Johnston down for a quick phone interview. At one point he laughed and said: “It’s one of the healthiest things that I do, making music. I try to do it a lot otherwise I just go crazy!”
