Veteran art-punks Half Japanese have shared a surprise new EP today called Bingo Ringo.
Half Japanese returned last year, after a pretty lengthy time away, dropping Overjoyed, although they've been going in some form since 1977 (with Jad Fair being the only constant member).
The new EP features six tracks and is limited to 173 lathe-cut records (designed by Mike Dixon). Each disc has three spindle holes, each having its own groove to follow.
The Bingo Ringo EP is out now via Joyful Noise.
