In case you haven't heard, 2006 will be the year of DANIELSON. The mammoth new SECRETLY CANADIAN full-length by the Southern New Jersey enclave, entitled "Ships" (produced by Danielson chieftain DANIEL SMITH), is being released May 9. Prior to its release, in March, three unique 7" singles will be released simultaneously on ANTICON (with a song performed and produced by WHY? and an album track remix by CHRISTIAAN PALLADINO), KILL ROCK STARS (with two songs produced by KRAMER) and SOUNDS FAMILYRE (two songs recorded with STEVE ALBINI). These singles will include non-album tracks and a remix. In contrast to the Br. Danielson album "Brother Is to Son" from last year, the songs on "Ships" are not solo songs, nor are they recorded without the help of his Famile. "Ships" is pure Danielson, created with the help of no less than 34 of Smith's closest friends and family members.
