1/2 Gentlemen / Not Beasts

by 1/2 Japanese

1/2 Gentlemen / Not Beasts cover art

The Jad and David Fair brothers delivered an absolute monolith of completely unhinged DIY lo-fi with this incredibly raw, 50-track triple LP. Refusing to tune their guitars or play conventional chords, Half Japanese crafted a remarkably humorous, fiercely atonal barrage of manic art-punk and abrasive noise rock that heavily inspired the burgeoning American indie underground.
