Joyner's new double album, "Ghosts", was funded entirely through a Kickstarter campaign, and will be released this week on Joyner's resurrected lo-fi pioneer label from the 90's, Sing, Eunuchs! and distributed exclusively by Ba-Da-Bing Records and Revolver USA. A recent radio feature on Simon Joyner aired on the U.S. National Public Radio's "Weekend Edition" program. It can be heard here: http://post-consumer.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=70d21e4e5ef173726d7e8d62e&id=893f68a247&e=9651d22d88
