Today, Shimmy-Disc announces the first-time vinyl release of I Killed The Monster (due February 10), an 11-track compilation of songs written by the celebrated American music legend, Daniel Johnston, whose classic LPs 1990 and Artistic Vice were produced by Kramer — the former at his legendary Noise New York recording studio and the latter at Daniel's home in West Virginia — and released on Shimmy-Disc in 1990 and 1991, respectively.

The compilation, originally shared as a CD-only release in 2006, features standout performances of Johnston classic by some of indie music's greatest talents, including: Danielson & Sufjan StevensKimya DawsonDot AllisonMike WattJad Fair & KramerJeffrey LewisLUMBEROBR. Stevie Moore, and more. Kramer produced and mixed most of the songs on the LP, and he himself delivers one of the most startling tracks on this release, Daniel's great masterpiece, "Bloody Rainbow."

All of the songs included on the compilation were re-mastered by Kramer in 2022, and will be available on vinyl for the very first time, and on a limited edition cassette, which will also feature an additional 10 tracks (for a total of 21), from the original 2006 CD-only release.

Ahead of the LP's release on February 10, today, Shimmy-Disc has shared Danielson & Sufjan Stevens' rendition of "Worried Shoes," alongside a brand new video created by Kramer.

I Killed The Monster (out February 10 via Shimmy-Disc) is available for pre-order now. The release will be available via limited edition vinyl, cassette, and digital.
