Joyful Noise Recordings is starting something interesting called “Artist In Residence.” It is a year long campaign featuring the legendary Jad Fair! In addition to his work with the ground-breaking Half Japanese (who grandfathered punk rock’s DIY ethos & the lo-fi movement), Jad Fair has recorded albums with Daniel Johnston, Yo La Tengo, Teenage Fanclub, etc.
As part of Jad Fair’s residency he will be creating four full-length albums throughout the year, each a unique collaboration with other artists.
These four LPs are:
Jad Fair & R Stevie Moore
Jad Fair & Danielson
Jad Fair & Norman Blake (of Teenage Fanclub)
Jad Fair & Strobe Talbot
Each album will be released as part of a vinyl box set, limited to just 450 copies. All four albums will feature colored vinyl and custom letterpress artwork by Jad Fair. The LPs will be packaged within a wooden box set, screen printed, hand-numbered, and signed by Jad Fair.
LPs & download codes will be sent every 3 months, with the first release scheduled for April 15th. The limited edition vinyl will not be sold individually apart from the box set. You can pick up a box set HERE.
A lifelong fan of new music—spent the '90s working in a record store and producing alternative video shows. In the 2000s, that passion shifted online with blogging, diving headfirst into the indie scene and always on the lookout for the next great release. Still here, still listening, and still sharing the best of what’s new.
