Memphis garage rocker Jay Reatard has died at 29. Goner Records, which has put out several of Reatard’s releases, confirmed the news on its website, saying “It is with great sadness that we report the passing of our good friend Jay Reatard. Jay died in his sleep last night. We will pass along information about funeral arrangements when they are made public.”

According to Memphis’ Commercial Appeal, Reatard — whose real name was Jay Lindsey — was found dead in his home in the city’s Midtown neighborhood at 3:30AM on Wednesday. Memphis police spokesperson Jennifer Robinson said that an investigation is ongoing.

At 15, Reatard began his prolific career, which blended garage rock, punk and lo-fi styles. The multi-instrumentalist’s catalog would go on to include a host of albums and singles with his main bands, the Reatards and the Lost Sounds, and side projects such as Bad Times, the Final Solutions and Angry Angles.

Reatard’s 2006 album “Blood Visions,” from In the Red Records, garnered widespread critical acclaim and cult adulation, which led to his being signed to big-league indie Matador Records. His debut full-length for the label, “Watch Me Fall,” was released in late 2009.

A statement on the label’s Matablog reads: “We are devastated by the death of Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr., aka Jay Reatard. Jay was as full of life as anyone we’ve ever met, and responsible for so many memorable moments as a person and artist. We’re honored to have known and worked with him, and we will miss him terribly.”
