Tell Dem It's Sunny by Greentea Peng
Midwest Rock & Roll by Ryan Hurd
The Music of Tori and the Muses by Tori Amos
For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women) by Japanese Breakfast
A new band to me this is their fourth album in 9 years. Japanese Breakfast is the solo project of Michelle Zauner who was in the band Little Big League when she split out to do her own thing. It is a 10 track album that is very consistent and engaging. I was immediately drawn into the music and the vibe of the album. I was reading a bit about their music and they talked about the 80's influences, but this particular album feels very 2000's to me. I hear the song Mega Circuit and I can't help but think of late 2000's Neko Case for instance.
I am curious to go back and listen to some of her earlier music. If you are in the mood for a very indie sounding pop/rock album that has a bit of a downer vibe to it then give this a listen. If you are in the right frame of mind I think someone could really connect with this album.
