Half Japanese - Sing No Evil

Sign No Evil is a brilliant mix of free-form jazz, punk rhythm, and Jad Fair's distinct yelp-singing which all melds together to create a jarring and distinct indie rock record. This record feels like it shouldn't work, but it does - Jad Fair's snotty screaming is in stark contrast to the complex horn rhythms, and all the disjointed noise somehow comes together to create catchy hooks and melodies.

It's brilliant.
