Half Japanese – Jump into Love Grouper or the green light and'Jump Into Love is the new album from Half Japanese, true DIY noise rock royalty, led by the ever effervescent Jad Fair. Its a meeting of minds, a coming together from the worlds favourite indie alt rock outsiders. Atypically out there and off kilter, the album wears its heart on its sleeve through a cascade of new, dark and brooding songs from the band who would be king. Loved by Kurt Cobain, Daniel Johnston, Penn Jillette and outsiders everywhere,
