[Vinilo]","description":"\u003cp\u003eHalf Japanese ha vuelto para pelar más capas de su cebolla. Tienen un nuevo álbum que va un paso más allá en su impredecible tablero musical de serpientes y escaleras. Why Not? es algo mágico, es Born To Run de Springsteen grabado en un armario, es una oda al amor, es una canción de Wire con dos guitarristas en duelo que es Zappa con helio, es Parquet Courts en una rabieta, es The Crickets contorsionados en ? y The Mysterians, está en todas partes y en ninguna parte, nena, es donde está. En Why Not? se reflexiona sobre los matices, se explican las situaciones, se hacen preguntas. Afuera, los zombis y los demonios deambulan y los extraterrestres cotidianos emergen de naves espaciales: es una película en tecnicolor transcrita por Jad Fair y sus amigos John Sluggett, Gilles-Vincent Rieder, Mick Hobbs y Jason Willett, sus caras en la ventana agrietada de su hábitat subterráneo mirando hacia el mundo real. Están en un punto álgido desde su último lanzamiento: después de todos estos años, su voz nerviosa todavía golpea cada canción con una conmoción que es a la vez un zumbido de alegría y un desfibrilador, cada balido apenas afinado alternando entre risible y afirmativo de la vida, dijo Pitchfork de su último opus Hear The Lion Roar. A lo que All Music agregó que después de casi 40 años de hacer música, todavía están creando algunas de las grabaciones más atractivas de sus vidas, y eso es realmente algo en lo que creer. Why Not? va más allá. Es una mezcla aún más intensa, es más allá. Contiene piezas de música esponjosa que invita a la reflexión, una bolsa de sentimientos entregados con una verdadera sensación de asombro por cómo gira el mundo normal; todo impulsado con corazón y alma, algunas guitarras crujientes, un violonchelo y una reverberación preparada para matar que se infiltran en su narrativa.

[CD]","description":"Half Japanese have returned to peel further layers from their onion. They have a new album that's a square further on in their unpredictable musical snakes and ladders board. Why Not? is a magical thing  its Springsteens Born To Run recorded in a cupboard, its an ode to love, its a Wire song with two duelling guitarists being Zappa on helium, its Parquet Courts in a tantrum, its The Crickets contorted into? and The Mysterians, its everywhere and nowhere, baby, its where its at. On Why Not? nuances are mused, situations explained, questions asked. Outside, zombies and demons roam and everyday aliens emerge from spaceships: its a technicolor film transcribed by Jad Fair and friends John Sluggett, Gilles-Vincent Rieder, Mick Hobbs and Jason Willett, their faces at the cracked window of their subterranean habitat looking out at the real world. Theyre on a high from their last release: After all these years, his wiry voice still hits every song with a shock thats equal parts joy buzzer and defibrillator, each barely in-key bleat alternating between laughable and life-affirming, said Pitchfork of their last opus Hear The Lion Roar. To which All Music added that after nearly 40 years of music-making, they're still creating some of the most engaging recordings of their lives, and that's truly something to believe in. Why Not? goes further. Its an even more intense concoction, its further out there. It contains pieces of fluffy thought-provoking music, a bag of sentiments delivered with a real sense of wonderment at how the normal world revolves; all powered with heart and soul, some crunchy guitars, a cello and reverb set-to-kill infiltrating their storytelling.

Atypically out there and off-kilter, the album wears its heart on its sleeve through a cascade of new, dark and brooding songs from the band who would be king.\r\n\r\nLoved 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 its OK to say Yes. Its 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.\r\n\r\nMusing on the writing process, Jad explains I 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.\r\n\r\nHalf Japanese currently includes Jad with John Sluggett, Gilles-Vincent Rieder, Mick Hobbs and Jason Willett, a veritable whos 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.\r\n\r\nAmid hard-riff jams, swinging ditties, lovelorn ballads and other catchy gems, Jad persistently breathes life into the Half Japanese NPR\r\n\r\nOne of indie rocks most reliable sources of positivity Pitchfork\n\n1.
