Half Japanese - Adventure - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

New studio album from Michigan's greatest outsider combo. An inspiration to Kurt Cobain, post grunge deep thinkers and veterans of the InchCan't Play/Will playInch 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. InchHalf-Japanese are a respected institution. They've been making noise since the late '70s.Inch Pop Matters InchInnocent abandon is still at the heart of the bandInch Pitchfork.1 Swept Away2 Love Explosion3 The Puppet People4 Return Of The Vampire5 Or Ever Will6 No More7 All At Once8 The Walking Dead9 Forever In My Heart10 What Are You Gonna Do?11 It's Here12 Invincible13 No Wonder14 It Has Me15 Indestructible

'Jump Into Love' is the new album from Half Japanese, true DIY noise-rock royalty, led by the ever-effervescent Jad Fair. It's a meeting of minds, a coming together from the world's favourite indie-alt-rock outsiders. Atypically out there and off-kilter, the album wears it's heart on it's sleeve through a cascade of new, dark and brooding songs from the band who would be king. Loved by Kurt Cobain, Daniel Johnston, Penn Jillette and outsiders everywhere, Half Japanese continue their quest for answers; creating a soundscape for a post-zombie land where bells chime and it's OK to say InchYesInch. It's another adventure; series 20 from an introspective parallel world where the super prolific Jad Fair cogitates on life, love, giants, the possessed and even bigger issues that simply swell the brain. Musing on the writing process, Jad explains InchI feel a need to do music and do song writing. It's something I really miss when I'm not doing it. There's a certain amount of tranquillity that's obtained from the fact that you can be working on songs each day. I think you use that certain portion of your brain that is otherwise not used. I kind of kind of prefer using it than not using it.Inch Half Japanese currently includes Jad with John Sluggett, Gilles-Vincent Rieder, Mick Hobbs and Jason Willett, a veritable who's who of DIY indie culture. 'Jump Into Love' was recorded at Tempo House, Baltimore, Russian Recording, Bloomington Indiana, Studio de la Trappe, Donneville France and la Casamurada, Tarragona Spain. The album was mixed by long time Half Japanese sparring partner Jason Willett at his home in Baltimore, Maryland.
