Japanese Breakfast: Jubilee Vinyl LP

Michelle Zauners breakthrough album! First time I saw Japanese Breakfast was in a 150-cap venue opening for Mitski in the summer of 2016. The show was intimate, engaging, and it was immediately clear thatMitski and Zauner were both destined for larger venues. However, I could not have predicted the full extent of success either artist has attained since then. To me, Jubilee is Zauner unlocking her full potential as a songwriter and performer. The songs are infectiousthe hook to Be Sweet was stuck in my headsince the first listen. The orchestral chamber pop of Paprika, Tactics, Kokomo, IN, and Posing For Cars is luscious, moving, and reminiscent of many of Secretly Groups greatest hits. If theres one Japanese Breakfastrecord to have in your collection, Jubilee is it. 10 tracks onblack vinyl.
