Strange But True
In the â90s, Jad Fair had five favorite bands and songwriters: Daniel Johnston, The Pastels, Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, and Yo La Tengo. Itâs a good list, sure, but whatâs most remarkable about it is that, in the course of a dozen years or so, Fair made music with all of them in one form or another.
Jad Fair has been prolific for half a century now, long before the Internet could create a simultaneous and seemingly eternal archive of everything someone with his predilections made. Heâs been involved in several hundred
titles, at least, many of them out-of-print on tiny labels that do not exist anymore. In fact, one of those collaborations that Fair made in the â90sâStrange But True, with Yo La Tengoâhas been hard to find, despite its
stateside release on October 20th 1998, by Matador Records.
For the first time, the album is being reissued on vinyl by Joyful Noise and
Bar/None.
By the time Fair played a party with Yo La Tengo in the mid-â90s, they were all friends, fans, and collaborators, having worked on or released records together. When Fair suggested they all head into the studio, the trio bit. The
result, Strange But True, is as wonderful, varied, and wild as some enormous lawn of native grasses. This collaborative album showcases the aritstsâ uncanny range, bringing us back to a time when indie rock was still free to be as weird and unruly as its makers wanted it to be.
