Overjoyed

pitchfork

Overjoyed is the legendary art-punk band’s first new studio album since 2001’s Hello, and in those intervening thirteen years, the seemingly ageless duo of Jad Fair and brother David haven’t lost their knack for the fine art of the charm offensive. The album shows just how much Half Japanese, despite their reserved seat in the indie continuum, still exist in a hermetic dimension of its own.
