Jandek- American low-fi folk singer Artwork

Jandek is the musical alias of Houston, Texas based American lo-fi folk singer Sterling Smith.[3] Since 1978, Jandek has independently released over 45 albums without granting interviews or providing any biographical information, releasing on a self-made label "Corwood Industries".[3] Jandek often plays a highly idiosyncratic and frequently atonal form of folk and blues music, frequently using an open and unconventional chord structure.[3] Allmusic has described him as "the most enigmatic figure in American music".[3] History A review of the debut album Ready for the House (1978) in OP magazine, the first ever national press given to Jandek, referred to the artist as Sterling Smith.[4] Smith has kept his personal history secret, revealing only one story about his pre-Corwood years: he wrote seven novels but burned them upon rejection from New York publishers.[5] In a 1985 interview with John Trubee for Spin, Smith mentioned that he was working at that time as a machinist.[6] Only a year later, Smith became reclusive and no longer gave interviews.[7] Jandek's first album, Ready for the House, though a solo work, was originally credited to a band called The Units. Smith was forced to change the name The Units by an identically named Californian group already in possession of a trademark on the name.[3] All reissues of this first album and all subsequent Corwood releases have been credited to "Jandek". In Trubee's interview, Smith claims he came up with the name Jandek while on the telephone with a person named Decker during the month of January.[6] Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain discussed Jandek in a 1993 interview, stating "He's not pretentious, but only pretentious people like his music.[8]
