Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds from Another Planet - 1xCD
Japanese Breakfast's Soft Sounds From Another Planet is less of a concept album about spaceexploration so much as it is a mood board come to life. Over the course of 12 tracks, MichelleZauner explores a sonic landscape of her own design, one that's big enough to contain herinfluences. There are songs on this album that recall the pathos of Roy Orbison’s ballads,while others could soundtrack a cinematic drive down one of Blade Runner's endless skyways.Zauner's voice is capacious; one moment she's serenading the past, the next she's roboticallynarrating a love story over sleek monochrome, her lyrics more pointed and personal than everbefore. While Psychopomp was a genre-spanning introduction to Japanese Breakfast, thisvisionary sophomore album launches the project to new heights1. Diving Woman2. Road Head3. Machinist4.
