Jandek - Chair Beside A Window (1982)

Jandek is an enigma. The story is simple: Jandek started releasing in the late seventies, a few albums a year. Nobody knew who or what he was. Nobody knew how he looked like. The only thing everyone was sure about: the music sounded like nothing else. Jandek released albums on Corwood Records, a label probably started by Jandek himself (?!). There never were interviews, no live gigs, just albums.

This went on until 2004, when some 50 albums had surfaced already. Since 2004 Jandek has given a handful of performances, and we now know that he is the guy on the front cover of his albums. It's hard to explain how Jandek-music sounds, this is a good place to start. Keep in mind that it's highly experimental, undigestible and non-commercial.
