THE JAPANESE HOUSE
IL NUOVO SINGOLO
":)"
ORA IN TOUR CON MAGGIE ROGERS NEGLI STATI UNITI
READING E LEEDS FESTIVAL AD AGOSTO
Oggi The Japanese House pubblica il suo nuovo singolo ':)' (Smiley Face) tramite Dirty Hit. Il brano, dalle tinte country, è una vera e propria ode alla felicità e arriva nel bel mezzo di un tour negli Stati Uniti, oltre che le date con Maggie Rogers. The Japanese House sarà anche protagonista del Festival Republic Stage al Reading and Leeds Festival il prossimo agosto.
LISTEN TO ‘:)’
“‘Smiley Face’ is a song I wrote when I was very excited about talking to someone off a dating app. She lived in Detroit and I was fantasising about flying to meet her. I was in a session at the time for someone else stuff but I couldn't help this song spilling out of me, I was in some sort of frenzy. Turns out I did buy the plane tickets, now we're engaged,” shares The Japanese House.
':)' segue il secondo album in studio di The Japanese House aka Amber Bain, In the End It Always Does, pubblicato la scorsa estate con il plauso della critica. L'album è stato supportato da un anno ricco di tournée, tra cui i suoi tour da headliner nel Regno Unito, negli Stati Uniti e in Giappone, tra cui il suo più grande spettacolo da headliner fino ad oggi alla Roundhouse di Londra, e gli spettacoli con i The 1975 nel loro tour 2024 nelle arene in UK , che ha registrato il tutto esaurito a febbraio.
I biglietti per i prossimi spettacoli di The Japanese House sono disponibili ora su thejapanesehouse.co.uk/tour.

It’s been nearly a decade since Bain’s break-out in 2015, back when The Japanese House was a mysterious unidentified figure shrouded in mystery and reverb. These days though, Bain’s sound and style is characteristically wide open, her vulnerabilities, thoughts and innermost feelings stitched into a tapestry of gorgeous, elevated pop music.
Much of In the End It Always Does lives in the contradictory: beginnings and endings, obsession and mundanity, falling in love and falling apart. Written during a creative burst at the end of 2021, In the End It Always Does is primarily inspired by the events preceding it – including Bain’s first time moving to Margate, being in a throuple and the slow dissolution of those relationships. “[These two people] were together for six years and I met them and then we all fell in love at the same time – and then one of them left,” Bain’s remembers. “It was a ridiculously exciting start to a relationship. It was this high… And then suddenly I’m in this really domestic thing, and it’s not like there was other stuff going on – it was lockdown.” The album came together just as that chapter in her life was falling apart, with each song almost acting as a snapshot in time.
Four years after her widely celebrated debut Good at Falling, this album sees Bain lean even further into the pop realm – with help from Matty Healy and George Daniel from The 1975, Katie Gavin from MUNA and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon among others. Bain credits Gavin especially with injecting her with creative energy and inspiration throughout.
The album also sees Bain work alongside producer and engineer Chloe Kraemer (Rex Orange County, Lava La Rue, Glass Animals), an experience she describes as “life changing” due to the unspoken, shared understanding between marginalised genders in a creative space. “I’d never worked with a woman or queer person [in that way] before,” Bain says. “It’s nice to have someone who completely understands your standpoint and shared experience. Also, I say ‘she’ in every song… so it’s important that someone understands that.”
LISTEN TO IN THE END IT ALWAYS DOES
The Japanese House is the acclaimed project of Amber Bain, who has released music under the pseudonym since 2015, and shared her debut album Good at Falling in 2019. Since her emergence in 2015, The Japanese House has received industry-wise acclaim from The Guardian (“feels like a refreshing splash of cold water on tear-stained cheeks”), Sunday Times Culture (“stunning”) Pitchfork, i-D, VICE, NME, GQ, Interview Magazine, BBC Radio 1 and more.
