Tape manipulator, collagist, solo musician (as Pep Lester), member of Mommy, 7 or 8 Wormhearts and Uzi. He also played with Cul De Sac on their debut album Ecim in 1992.
Milstein's qualifications aside, any project involving Jad Fair is bound to be a little grating or askew, and this is no different. Jack-O-Lantern Moon is a-melodic as fuck, art-damaged avant noodling that can only pass for rock and roll in the loosest sense of the term. Standup bass, theremin, and toy xylophones, oh my! Akin to a Sonic Youth side project, or the band Stump. A nifty passage from "October October," "Who needs drugs when we have the fall?" helps sum up the group's crooked aesthetic.

Ha ha, it's so great that you would post something like this. This record is pretty "legendary".
When you said Jad Fair, and you say Halloween, I was reminded of this little single from 1995, if you have it I do hope you post it!

I'm afraid I don't have the single you speak of, but I may have a single by a Jad Fair related project called Mosquito. In fact, Steve Shelley was in this particular group, but what I heard didn't make much of an impression. If I'm able to dig it up, I'll consider posting it sometime.
