Having released over two dozen EPs, LPs, and live albums between 1977 and 2001, Half Japanese returned in 2014 with their first release in thirteen years: the uncharacteristically accessible Overjoyed, released on Joyful Noise Recordings.
Continuing their tradition of writing songs about monsters & the supernatural (“Dracula’s Casket”) and young love (“Stuck on You”), their latest EP Bingo Ringo features stream of consciousness-style lyrics paired with sometimes chaotic and noisy, sometimes playfully-wandering guitars.
Its six tracks showcase the band’s raw, unconventional and unpolished sound with the same simplicity and candor that launched their long and undeniably influential career.
