Jandek is the musical project of Sterling Smith, a Houston, Texas-based American lo-fi folk singer.[3] Since 1978, Jandek has independently released over 120 albums while granting an interview extremely rarely and providing no biographical information, releasing on a self-made label, "Corwood Industries".[3] Jandek often plays an idiosyncratic and frequently atonal form of folk and blues music, frequently using an open and unconventional chord structure.[3] AllMusic has described Jandek as "the most enigmatic figure in American music".[3]
