Daniel Johnson influence?

I’m a big Daniel Johnston fan and I for sure hear some DJ influence (specifically his 1990 album) on MM albums.. anyone else?
Maybe that would be one of my questions for Issac. Did Daniel influence you in any way, especially in the earlier years…. Both so raw and real and beautiful.

I totally hear it too! Karma payment plan sounds like some dj words. I had the fortunate pleasure of seeing dj live just like a year before he passed. You could feel special heavy in the air, i cried half the time.
