IF YOU LIKE
19th album from indie DIY art-rock legends, Half Japanese in Maryland. Led by Jad Fair, the band creates their unique blend of eccentricity, pop/noise quirkiness, and insightful sarcasm for a meaningful escape from commercial music. Similar to Jonathan Richman, Jandek, Beat Happening, Pere Ubu, Daniel Johnston, Bongwater, "Why Not?" is fun, playful garage pop that may sound juvenile, but offers intellectual stimulation and auditory bliss for societal outcasts. Cool.
