Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third full-length from outsider art-punk legends Half Japanese features the band expanding into a chaotic, multi-member ensemble format. 'Our Solar System' maintains brothers Jad and David Fair's uninhibited, lo-fi approach to songwriting, violently colliding dissonant noise rock freakouts with naive, oddly sincere love songs.
