Sing No Evil

by Half Japanese

Maintaining their fiercely amateurish, D.I.Y. approach, the Fair brothers crafted a chaotic but surprisingly melodic collection of noisy art-punk. The tracks burst with unhinged guitar scraping, out-of-tune horns, and Jad Fair's manic, yelping odes to B-movies and romantic infatuation. It serves as a crucial document of the American underground cassette culture, predating the lo-fi indie rock explosion by a full decade.
