Ken Stringfellow DANZIG IN THE MOONLIGHT

Ken’s new album Danzig In The Moonlight is available for pre-order! Set for release 1 October on Lojinx, you place your order at danziginthemoonlight.com, where several limited-edition bundles are available. More information:

I’ve made some extra items including a vinyl single with a unique, only-available-here track called “The Well” which was just recorded in Cordoba days ago (next to a very old well–they say: “write what you know”), the first ever Ken Stringfellow T shirt, and of course the album in all its digital and analog glory. Hi quality double vinyl cut by the lab coat wearing geeks at Abbey Road. CDs with deluxe packaging, both wrapped in intricate artwork by some of Holland’s most cutting edge illustrators and designers.
