Half Japanese – Our Solar System

For me, the music Half Japanese makes is great in an often unfathomable way, and the same goes for the album »Our Solar System«, first released on Iridescence Records in 1984. What’s impressive is the urgency, the immediacy of the 19 songs here. The band around the brothers David and Jad Fair just starts hammering away every time. This earned them the reputation of being »unheard of« early on. Which is not true. There’s something hidden behind the banging. Something like uniqueness. Can you hear it too? 40th anniversary edition on black vinyl.
