Half Japanese

Jad Fair‘s long-running low-fi avant rock project Half Japanese will release their new album, Perfect, this Friday (1/22) via Joyful Noise. (Order yours.) Half Japanese have made a lot of different-sounding records over the last 40 years but few of them, thankfully, are what you’d call normal, but maybe the world has caught up with Fair or he’s flying a little closer to the ground these days. Perfect is downright catchy in spots and sonically is firmly in mid-fi territory… yet still with an autre spirit and Fair’s distinctive vocal stylings. It’s a cool record. You can make your own opinion right now as a stream of the whole album premieres in this post. Listen below.
