Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 1982, 'Living in a Moon So Blue' was Jandek's second album, following his debut 'Ready for the House' from 1981. At this point, Jandek was beginning to carve out his distinctive identity within the outsider music genre, further exploring themes of loneliness and alienation through unorthodox song structures and lo-fi production.
