by Dan Johnston

The What of Whom cover art

Daniel Johnston's 'The What of Whom' blends lo-fi piano rock and sound collage with raw, introspective lyrics. The album's humorous yet deeply personal themes of love, longing and self-hatred define its outsider folk aesthetic. It became a foundational release in the American lo-fi underground.
