Half Japanese - Invincible

Puppet people, vampires and the walking dead frequent the world of Jad Fair’s songwriting - outside of those interruptions he’s besotted. Maybe even in love. He feels invincible and as the closing instrumental cut ‘Indestructible’ floats off into the ether there’s a feeling of job done; we can rest tonight; everything is good; we are loved and in love. 

“Hooray for love!” Jad intones on ‘All At Once’. It comes to us all… eventually. 

On Invincible, they continue to be uncategorisable, joyous, detuned, quizzical, alluring, childlike, charming, innocent, questioning. It’s pop music for those outside of pop music. It has songs for those still bedevilled by one liners and abrasive melodies. 

"Still creating some of the most engaging recordings of their lives, and that's truly something to believe in.” - AllMusic
