EXCLUSIVE VIDEO + DOWNLOAD: Danielson - Good News For The Pus Pickers
Daniel Smith is many things but a pus picker he is not. This exclusive, Henri-Jean Debon-directed video comes to us the day before Smith and his traveling indie-pop circus embark on a tour in support of Danielson's new anthology release, Trying Hartz. In addition to the visual stimulation above, we've also got a cut from said release ready for enjoying below. But maybe right now you're squinting, asking yourself how someone could upon such a song title. In his liner notes, Smith himself provides a bit of explanation as to where the lyrical inspiration for this particular ditty arose: "Ever meet someone who just keeps picking their scabs and then has to show them to you and you say 'Hey stop that' and then they get all defensive and call you a know-it-all?" Totally!
