Japanese Breakfast, the project of Michelle Zauner has released the first single, ‘Machinist’ complete with a self directed video from her upcoming new long player, Soft Sounds From Another Planet. The news of a new album comes just a year after the release of her impressive debut Psychopomp and marks an outward search for healing amidst personal tragedy. The production level has more than gone up a notch with the superb kaleidoscopic 80s inspired pop of ‘Machinist’ boasting a smoother more fuller sound than the DIY feel of previous efforts. The video reflects the track’s overarching escapist sci-fi narrative perfectly. Soft Sounds From Another Planet is out through Dead Oceans on July 14. Pre-order the album here.
