Japanese Breakfast (aka Michelle Zauner) is releasing her sophomore album, Soft Sounds From Another Planet, on July 14 via Dead Oceans. Previously she shared a video for its first single, “Machinist.” Now she has shared another song from the album, the lush ballad “Boyish.” Listen below, followed by her upcoming tour dates.
Zauner had this to say about the song in a press release: “Craig Hendrix [band member and the album’s co-producer] and I wanted to produce this sort of grandiose Roy Orbison-esque ballad. We wanted the chorus to have big arrangements, lots of harmonies and synth strings, to create a really sweeping, melancholic effect that mirrored the nature of the lyrics. The song is about jealousy and sexual incompetence. It’s about feeling ugly.”
The album is the follow-up to 2016’s well-received debut, Psychopomp. A previous press release said Soft Sounds From Another Planet “is a work of self-reflection that looks out at the cosmos in search of healing, finding inspiration in science fiction, outer space, and the Mars One Project.”
