This New Music Friday has seen the release of The Japanese House‘s new album Good At Falling. Have a listen on Live4ever via Spotify.
Amber Bain’s debut LP has succeeded a series of EP releases and was described by Live4ever in our review as ‘a love album in the grand tradition‘:
“Although reality lies at the edges, plenty of this world still lies in dreams, particularly the hazy laptop pads of Marika Is Sleeping and opener Went To Meet Her’s heavily auto-tuned buzz, both weaker moments in what otherwise is a glossy finished article.”
“As a title, Good At Falling seems like something of a misnomer; for the most part the idea is about lacking control, the result of an accident either of time or mistaken motion. Throughout it though, despite the maybe-heartbreak, there’s still a lack of rawness, another layer that if pulled back would surely give the listener access to a far more obsessive, connectable world.”
