Description
New studio album from Michigans greatest outsider combo. An inspiration to Kurt Cobain, post grunge deep thinkers and veterans of the Cant Play/Will play fraternity. Pop music for those outside of pop music. Songs for those still bedevilled by one liners and abrasive melodies. Thematically succinct tales of puppet people, vampires and the walking dead juxtaposed with discerning love songs and eternal affection. Half-Japanese are a respected institution. Theyve been making noise since the late 70s. Pop Matters Innocent abandon is still at the heart of the band Pitchfork. An off-kilter classic that shouldnt sound right but ultimately does, in the best tradition of The Residents, Richman, Johnston, Brain Wilson at his most bamboozled and any number of out there talents. Uncategorizable, joyous, detuned, quizzical, alluring, childlike, charming, innocent, questioning invincible. New album from Half Japanese, an inspiration on Kurt Cobain. Jad Fair of Half Japanese has previously collaborated with Teenage Fanclub, Moe Tucker (Velvet Underground) and Daniel Johnston.
Still creating some of the most engaging recordings of their lives, and thats truly something to believe in. AllMusic
