Strange But True - Vinyle Vert

Description

In the 1990s, Jad Fair counted Daniel Johnston, The Pastels, Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, and Yo La Tengo among his favorite bands and songwriters — a list he would eventually turn into concrete collaborations throughout the decade. A prolific figure in independent rock for over half a century, Fair has pursued numerous projects on small, often defunct labels, leaving behind a discography as rich as it is elusive. Among these rare treasures, *Strange But True* — recorded with Yo La Tengo and originally released in 1998 on Matador Records — is now being reissued on vinyl by Joyful Noise and Bar/None. This cult album captures the free spirit and eccentricity of two major American indie rock entities, united by a shared taste for experimentation, humor, and spontaneity. The result of this friendly and unbridled encounter, *Strange But True* reflects an era when indie rock still dared to lose itself in its own follies, amidst DIY melodies, quirky improvisations, and a raw sincerity that has become rare. Green vinyl edition.
