Cult DIY icon Jad Fair is back with a brand new Half Japanese album, titled Invincible and out February 22 via Fire Records. Jad was backed by John Sluggett, Gilles-Vincent Rieder, Jason Willett and Mick Hobbs for this album and the first single is “Puppet People,” which hits on familiar lyrical themes for him (fakes, mindless sheep, disillusionment) all set to lightly baroque indie rock. Watch the animated video for the single below.
