Jandek is the musical project of Corwood Industries operating out of Houston, Texas. Since 1978, Jandek/Corwood Industries has independently released over 115 albums/DVDs of unusual, often emotionally dissolute folk, rock, and blues songs without ever granting an interview or providing any biographical information. Jandek often plays a highly idiosyncratic and frequently atonal form of folk, rock, classical and blues music, at times using an open and unconventional chord structure. The name "Jandek" refers to the musical project.
