Soft Sounds From Another Planet

Description

Japanese Breakfast’sSoft Sounds From Another Planetis 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 Zaunerexplores a sonic landscape of her own design, one that’s big enough to contain her influences. There are songs on this album that recall the pathos of Roy Orbison’s ballads, while others could soundtrack a cinematic drive down one ofBlade Runner’sendless skyways. Zauner’s voice is capacious; one moment she’s serenading the past, the next she’s robotically narrating a love story over sleek monochrome, her lyrics more pointed and personal than ever before. WhilePsychopompwas a genre-spanning introduction toJapanese Breakfast, this visionary sophomore album launches the project to new heights.
