Danielson was joined by The Weird Weeds and Jad Fair at The ND on Tuesday night as he and his new band celebrated the release of his first studio work in five years, The Best of Gloucester County. The evening was filled with uncommonly enchanting eccentric music. With some of Austin's most innovative musicians opening for him, including pioneering outsider artist Jad Fair, Danielson's audience was primed for his unusually creative and joyful performance. On a weeknight that was unusually full of enticing shows and events all across town, this was almost surely the most uplifting of them all.

Made up of members of crazy-voiced frontman Daniel Smith’s family, plus anyone else enlisted for evangelicalism, Danielson offered an almost-ridiculous-not-to-like head-bob-ability with breakthrough album Ships, an album made more than a decade into the band’s existence.

Austinist Show Preview: Danielson & Cryptacize at the Mohawk (Early Show!)
We must admit we're impatient and almost painfully curious to see what the fabulous Jersey-nutsos Danielson whip up at the Mohawk this evening. After all, the act has always leaned towards the cultish side, what with everyone taking the last name of lead singer (preacher?) Daniel Smith, whether related to him or not, their regularly matching uniforms, their Sunday school-esque sing-alongs, their in-your-face religiosity, the glassy-eyed what's-in-the-punch joy of it all...when you put all it together, along with the fact that they just released Trying Hartz, a two disc compendium of their back catalog—music that predates their stunning 2006 real world breakthrough album, Ships—it seems like a spectacle far too entrancing to miss, and all of it starting bright and early with doors at 7. Just make sure to bundle up, because it's outside and, if you haven't noticed, outside isn't Texas anymore.
