Japanese Breakfast is the solo musical project of Michelle Zauner, once a member of Little Big League, an indie rock band out of Philadelphia. Zauner’s spacey instrumentals and voice are the focal point of Japanese Breakfast, but the lyrics are a close second; touching on such topics as sex, death, and survival as a woman. With super catchy guitar riffs and a sensual shoegazy tone, Japanese Breakfast makes complex music seem easy to listen to. Zauner released her first studio album Psychopomp in 2016 which has been described as dark and heavy-handed dream pop. Her second studio album Soft Sounds from Another Planet was released only a little over a year later to extraordinary reception. Japanese Breakfast released their third studio album, Jubilee, on June 4, 2021, through Dead Oceans.
