Japanese Breakfast – Soft Sounds from Another Planet

Japanese Breakfast – Soft Sounds from Another Planet

Released in 2017, Soft Sounds from Another Planet is the second album from Japanese Breakfast — the project of Michelle Zauner — and a record that moves between grief, longing and science fiction with remarkable ease. Where her debut Psychopomp processed loss in raw, immediate terms, this album takes a longer view, finding distance and even beauty in the same emotional territory.

Soft Sounds, Machinist, Road Head and Till Death are among the standout tracks on an album that is both intimate and expansive. Zauner’s songwriting is precise and affecting, and the production — layered, dreamy and occasionally disorienting — perfectly matches the album’s themes. A quietly essential record.
