2017 digipak release

Once upon a time, Jad Fair was obsessed with women and horrormovies. However, that's all changed in the 21st century -- thesedays, Fair is obsessed with positive thinking and horror movies,while he's also reasonably interested in women. Fair has been on anunexpected hot streak in the 2010s, delivering a handful ofunusually strong albums as a solo act, in collaboration with others(including Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub and his brother DavidFair), and with his long-running band Half Japanese. Released in2017, Hear the Lions Roar reveals that he and his latest edition ofHalf Japanese are still a weird but glorious force to be reckonedwith. Where they were once proudly inept, Half Japanese now soundelemental but emphatic, a scrappy rock & roll band that can getan audience up on their feet, even if this group is still notinterested in flashy solos or the conventions of commercial popmusic. And while many of these tracks feel homemade, Fair and hisbandmates obviously rehearsed this music before hitting the studio,and the songs are tuneful rather than just serving as a frameworkfor Jad's various lyrical rants. As for Jad, after losing interestin horror movies for a few years, his preoccupation has returned onHear the Lions Roar, and his tale of "zombie hippies" in "ThePreventers" sounds like a flick worth seeing on a Saturday night,while "Attack of the Giant Leeches" and the werewolf tale "It NeverStops" further suggest Fair ought to consider pitching his ideas tosome low-budget producer with a vision. (Hey, if Sharknado can getfinanced, why not this stuff?) But it's the tunes in which Fair andcompany celebrate the joys of living and the powers of belief (suchas "Wherever We Are Led" and "On the Right Track"), and even thepossibilities of love ("It's Our Time"), that really bring Hear theLions Roar to life. And why not? On Hear the Lions Roar, HalfJapanese demonstrate that after nearly 40 years of music-making,they're still creating some of the most engaging recordings oftheir lives, and that's truly something to believe in.
