Music to Strip By is an album by the Maryland rock group Half Japanese.[1][6][7] It was the first album released on their label, 50 Skidillion Watts.[5]
Critical reception
The Quietus wrote that "Music To Strip By [is] a rag bag of musical influences tied to tall tales with a verisimilitude to Jad's own beguiling, charmed life."[8] The Spin Alternative Record Guide singled out the cover of Fats Domino's "Blue Monday" for praise.[5]
