The Japanese House Announces New Album, Releases New Single ‘Sad to Breathe’

The Japanese House, the moniker of Amber Bain, has announced her sophomore LP: In the End It Always Does comes out June 30 via Dirty Hit. The album was produced with help from the 1975’s George Daniel and Chloe Kraemer. Along with the previously unveiled song ‘Boyhood’, it includes the new single ‘Sad to Breathe’, which you can check out below.

“I wrote ‘Sad To Breathe’ some time ago, it’s one of the oldest songs on the record,” Bain explained in a statement. “It was very different back then; it’s gone from being solely electronic to what it is now, mostly live/ acoustic instrumentation. It’s about that desperate feeling when someone leaves you and the disbelief that they could. It’s funny you could have those kind of insane dramatic thoughts, that feel so real at the time, but can by some miracle look back in fondness to your entire life being ruined. It all circles back around.”

The Japanese House released her EP Chewing Cotton Wool in 2020. Her debut album, Good at Falling, arrived in 2019.

Temple of Angels Announce Debut Album ‘Endless Pursuit’, Unveil New Single ‘Tangled in Joy’

Temple of Angels have announced their signing to Run for Cover Records, which will release the dream-pop band’s debut album, Endless Pursuit, on July 14. To celebrate the news, they’ve shared a new single, ‘Tangled in Joy’, along with a music video. Check it out and see the LP’s cover and tracklist below.

Following a series of EPs, Endless Pursuit was recorded with Colin Knight and Phillip Odom, while Will Yip handled the mastering. The album finds bandleader Bre Morrell grappling with the loss of a parent. “I started having extremely vivid nightmares reliving certain experiences with my mom that started to take over my life, trapping me in that trauma,” she explained. These dreams, Morrell added, were marked by “the constant feeling that something or someone so essential to you is missing, home doesn’t feel like home anymore, and something about this world just feels off now.”

Oxbow Announce New Album ‘Love’s Holiday’, Share Video for New Single ‘1000 Hours’

Oxbow are back with news of their next album, Love’s Holiday, which is set for release on July 21. Lead single ‘1000 Hours’, the avant-rock group’s first new music in six years, features Roger Joseph Manning Jr (Jellyfish, Beck) and comes with a video directed by John David Levy. Check it out below, and scroll down for the LP’s cover artwork (by Aaron Turner) and tracklist.

“’1000 Hours’ for the OXBOW completist, 100 percent ties in to our other song 1000, thematically in my mind,” vocalist Eugene Robinson commented in a statement. “But filming the video, given that I just had surgery a few days before felt very much like Mann’s Death in Venice to me. You know where waiting to die never felt more beautiful. Which really feels like the essence of love. Or at least one of them.”

Guitarist Niko Wenner, who co-produced the record with Joe Chiccarelli, added: “‘1000 Hours’ began life with the bright extroverted feel you hear most, but inevitably the darker introspective mood of the coda and intro emerged. Both qualities are essential to Love’s Holiday. Roger (backing vocals), John (video director), and Joe Chiccarelli (co-producer) all did extraordinary work to heighten these emotions.”

“The music was chiefly inspired by and written for my family,” Wenner said of Love’s Holiday. “We’ve had two children born and my father died while writing and working on this record. The songs are just a collection of music that I sang to my babies and then wrote guitar parts for and brought to the band as OXBOW songs.”

Oxbow’s last album was 2017’s Thin Black Duke.
