Vinyl LP pressing of this 2016 release. Dan Penta doesn't have fans - he has disciples. An outcast of the DC burbs, he arrived in NYC in 1999, quickly becoming a staple of the anti -folk scene. But while friends like Regina Spektor, the Moldy Peaches, and Langhorne Slim went on to earn acclaim, Dan remained unknown. Creating in obscurity, he handmade CD-Rs for the consecrated few who, through the years, came to form a tiny congregation. Finally, now 20 years of retrospection and songwriting come to fruition. "I remember hearing Dan play when I began going to the Sidewalk Cafe open mic. He had interesting lyrics and passionate delivery and always stood out as one of the unique voices in that scene." - Regina Spektor. Show more
