A posthumous Dan Sartain album has been announced, with the profits going into a trust fund for the late singer-songwriter’s daughter.
The cult Alabama rocker died in March at the age of 39. A GoFundMe page set up by his family to help pay for his funeral confirmed the news.
“Dan Sartain left us many memories and music, but has unfortunately left us way too early,” a statement on the page said. “As wonderful as his legacy is, he had no plans for the unmentionable, and thus, here we are.”
Today (October 29), a new album titled ‘Arise, Dan Sartain, Arise’ has been announced, which is due to be released on November 26 via One Little Independent.
The first track to be previewed from the posthumous release is ‘People Throwing Stones In Glass Houses’. The hazy, mid-tempo cut about self-reflection is accompanied by a black and white visual that sees Sartain walking the streets while singing the song.
