The Japanese House (otherwise known as Amber Bain) has released a new single, “Chewing Cotton Wool“. Listen to the track now below.
The new single joins “Something Has To Change” as the second track taken from her forthcoming EP (expected to be released in early 2020 on Dirty Hit Records), which will follow her critically acclaimed debut album Good At Falling (PRESS HERE to listen). It will wrap a highly successful 2019 for Bain, which was the release of the “existential crisis turned love song” (NME) “Maybe You’re the Reason,” the deceptively upbeat “We Talk All The Time,” and Good At Falling itself, and the LA Session EP, which features re-imagined live versions of tracks from Good At Falling, which you can listen to if you PRESS HERE.
With “melancholic melodies” that create “an amalgamation of The xx and Wet” (V Magazine),Bain “hits the invisible and shifting target of hype that so many artists, even with money, readily miss” (Consequence of Sound). Adored by both critics and fans for the “tender and textured songs” that are “atmospheric, lofty, and soothing” (Nylon), The Japanese House has gathered over 200+ million streams on Spotify since her start in 2015and has received praise from The New York Times, W Magazine, Paper Magazine, GQ, Playboy, The Fader, Newsweek, Noisey and i-D, among others.
