Jad Fair and Jason Willett of legendary art-punk band Half Japanese premiere a new track from their forthcoming album as a duo today via SPIN. The song “Mars Invaded Earth” is available to hear and share HERE. (Direct Soundcloud HERE.)
Consequence of Sound recently shared the album title track “The Greatest Power”, available to hear and share HERE.
The 18-track album sees the longtime bandmates return hot on the heels of Half Japanese’s 2014 album Overjoyed, which was the band’s first recording in over 13 years.
In keeping with Half Japanese’s tradition of all songs being “either love songs or monster songs,” Jad & Jason’s latest effort vacillates between these lyrical themes throughout with Fair on vocals and “occasional instruments” (mostly guitar) and Willett on “other instruments.” Drag City artist Michael Evans plays drums on title track “The Greatest Power.”
The Greatest Power will be available on LP and download on December 18th, 2015 via Dymaxion Groove Records. Pre-orders are available HERE.
