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.
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.
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.
