  • Born: October 26, 1945, Houston, Texas.Strange, reclusive, yet prolific artist. Little is known about him. Music ranges from blues and electric boogie music to spoken word and avant-garde chamber music. Runs the Corwood Industries label for his own releases, the first of which was credited to [a3021165] and appeared in 1978. All subsequent recordings have been credited to Jandek (including all reissues of the Units album). Jandek performed his first concert unannounced in 2004, 26 years after he released his debut. He has gone on to perform a handful of concerts every year since, slowly releasing them in their entirety on Corwood.
dbo:abstract
  • Jandek is the musical project of Sterling Smith, an outsider musician who operates out of Houston, Texas. Since 1978, Jandek has self-released over 70 albums of unusual, often emotionally dissolute folk and blues songs without ever granting more than the occasional interview or providing any biographical information. Jandek often plays a highly idiosyncratic and frequently atonal form of folk and blues music, often using an open and unconventional chord structure. Jandek's music is unique, but the lyrics closely mirror the country blues and folk traditions of East Texas. The name %22Jandek%22 is most commonly used to refer specifically to the project.
