Biography

A solo moniker for Philadelphia musician Michelle Zauner, Japanese Breakfast began as a monthlong, song-a-day writing challenge during a break from her indie rock band Little Big League. That resulted in 2013's June, an intimate set of melodic, electric guitar-accompanied lo-fi tunes issued on cassette by Ranch Records. She continued to write solo and with her band, with Japanese Breakfast's self-released Where Is My Great Big Feeling? and the Seagreen Records cassette American Sound both following in the summer of 2014 before Little Big League's Tropical Jinx arrived that October. With a varied palette including markedly bigger, synth-boosted sounds that bridged lo-fi and indie pop, Japanese Breakfast's Yellow K Records debut, Psychopomp, was released in the spring of 2016.

LYRICS

"Tell me everything"
"Everybody's fine"
I can tell you're drunk
Wandering somewhere creation
Gordian-like knot
Ranked by the days
Tried to cut you off
Somehow pulled it tighter

Talking to you
It's nearly morning where you are
While my afternoons move so slow
Pacing the room
Awaiting a moment gone too far
And your special way of ruining the mood

Oh, I'm always wondering where you are
May this be the year the spirit takes you, takes you, takes you
Oh, you always take it way too far
Is it the bottle or blood?
I can't relate to you at all

The ocean in view
I'm thinking of all the Grecian gods
The men they all played to get what they want
A crashing of waves, a sculpture of Leda and the swan
You wait, you wait, you wait
You wait and wait and wait
