Danielson features the passionate, eccentric indie rock of Daniel Smith and various collaborators, including his siblings. After releasing their first few long players under the moniker the Danielson Famile, including their gospel-themed first album, 1995's A Prayer for Every Hour, the lo-fi project was going by simply Danielson by 2006's Ships. Still making playful, rousing, oddball rock in the 2010s, Smith's ninth album, 2014's Solid Gold Heart, was a collaboration between Danielson and Jad Fair. ~ Marcy Donelson
