Jad and David Fair (Half Japanese) releasing 'Shake, Cackle and Squall' -- listen to "In-between Alive And Dead"

Jad and David Fair have made a lot of records — like, a whole lot — over the last 40+ years with cult band Half Japanese and other projects. The iconoclastic, outsider art brothers continue to work together and will release Shake, Cackle and Squall under their own names on August 5 via Joyful Noise. It’s back to basics for the Fairs, just drums, guitar and vocals. Still they manage to coax a lot of craziness from those building blocks (the LP title is fitting), as you can hear on “In-between Alive And Dead” which premieres in this post. Listen below.

Shake, Cackle and Squall is available to preorder now. Album tracklist below.
