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

Once the fever subsides
I'll return to the flatlands
A new man, a new man
Playing king, slowing time
Bundled for our rest cure with your x-ray in my locket
Planting seeds, idle hours
Chained to my reflection in the shadow of a mountain


Playing king, playing bride
Blooming in my leisure, slipping hours left uncounted
You and me, and soon ours
Bury me beside you in the shadow of my mountain
