Japanese Breakfast, the project of
Korean-American singer Michelle Zauner, former singer of
Philadephia's band Little Big League of
These Are Good People (2013) and
Tropical Jinx (2014),
began in Oregon with
June (2013), a collection of 30 brief songs, one per each day of the month,
Where Is My Great Big Feeling? (2014) and American Sound (2014),
both written while her mother was dying of cancer.
Her project became more of a band on
Psychopomp (2016), an album of emo-folk that recycles some of the old songs with better arrangements and features her signature song
Rugged Country.
Soft Sounds from Another Planet (2017) began the collaboration with
producer Craig Hendrix who crafted a formulaic commercial synth-pop sound on songs like Machinist. Luckily, humbler dream-pop confections like
The Body Is a Blade and Road Head rescued the album from
oblivion.
The sophisticated production of Jubilee (2021) buried her intimate
stories under layers of strings and synths bordering on the most obnoxious
dance-pop of the 1980s
(the Cindy Lauper-esque Be Sweet,
(Savage Good Boy, produced by Alex G).
The emotional In Hell and Paprika are undermined by the
shallow neosoul of Posing in Bondage.
Japanese Breakfast's Michelle Zauner and Crying's Ryan Galloway formed
Bumper that debuted with the EP Pop Songs (2020).
