Description
Japanese Breakfasts Soft Sounds From Another Planet is less of a concept album about space exploration so much as it is a mood board come to life.
Over the course of 12 tracks, Michelle Zauner explores a sonic landscape of her own design, one thats big enough to contain her influences. There are songs on this album that recall the pathos of Roy Orbisons ballads, while others could soundtrack a cinematic drive down one of Blade Runners endless skyways.
Zauners voice is capacious; one moment shes serenading the past, the next shes robotically narrating a love story over sleek monochrome, her lyrics more pointed and personal than ever before.
While Psychopomp was a genre-spanning introduction to Japanese Breakfast, this visionary second album launches the project to new heights.
