japanese breakfast | in heaven
Japanese Breakfast has an endearing way of making quirky lo-fi dream pop that is often raucous, but at times soft and tender. Case in point the latter, the track In Heaven is soft around the edges like Robert Smith at his melancholy best.
The latest album by Japanese Breakfast, Psychopomp, is nine well-crafted stand alone tracks. Each song emits a positive energy and boast arrangements right out of an indie band’s wet dream. Good stuff. Peace.

Featured Track: In Heaven
In Heaven:
The dog’s confused
She just paces around all day
She’s sniffing at your empty room
I’m trying to believe
When I sleep it’s really you
Visiting my dreams
Like they say that angels do
I came here for the long haul
Now I leave here as an empty fucking hole
Oh do you believe in heaven?
Like you believed in me
Oh it could be such heaven
If you believed it was real
Is there something you can do with yourself
As I sift through the debris
While I empty every shelf
And flounder in the muck that I’ll be drowning in so soon
You can’t watch me from the banks then
Turn to say you’re swimming too
Come here for the long haul
Now I leave here just an empty goddamn hole
How do you believe in heaven?
Like you believe in me?
Oh it could be such heaven
If you believed it was real
