Japanese Breakfast: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 4 Streams • 3 years ago

Oct. 25, 2017 | Marissa Lorusso -- As Japanese Breakfast, Michelle Zauner writes sparkling, opulent dream pop about grief and love (and, occasionally, robots). After releasing its debut album, Psychopomp last year, the band returned with this year's stunning Soft Sounds From Another Planet. Where Psychopomp, written in the immediate aftermath of the death of Zauner's mother, zeroed in on the experience of Zauner's grief, Soft Sounds widens her aperture, featuring paeans to her coping mechanisms, ruminations on crooked relationship dynamics and said sci-fi robot fantasy.

At its Tiny Desk concert, the band swapped out Soft Sound's gauzy, astral synths for acoustic guitar and piano, and was joined by members of Washington, D.C. string quartet Rogue Collective. Zauner had wanted to do something special for the performance, and was tipped off by Landlady's Adam Schatz that the Rogue Collective make pretty great Tiny Desk partners. The Collective practiced with Japanese Breakfast the day before the Tiny Desk, and was a featured guest later that night at the band's D.C. show.

The adaptation highlighted Zauner's strength as a songwriter, providing an even more direct line into the raw emotion at the heart of her songs. The string swells during "Boyish" lent gravity to the song's bittersweet desperation. During "Till Death," her ode to marriage, Zauner sang — as she often does — in a way that strains her voice to the crackling, taut edge of heartbreak. It's arresting on any stage, but particularly powerful in the stark midday light of NPR Music's office.

For its final song at the Tiny Desk, Japanese Breakfast performed "This House." Gone was the Rogue Collective, and indeed much of the band — just Zauner and pianist Craig Hendrix remained. The song describes moments in love that are more fearful labor than bliss, the hazy space where commitment, confusion and longing intersect. Like much of Japanese Breakfast's music, the performance shows Zauner looking unblinkingly at fear and pain, daring us to do the same.

NAPALM DEATH - Contagion (OFFICIAL VIDEO) Hotney 8 Streams • 2 years ago

NAPALM DEATH - Contagion (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
Taken from the album "Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism", out September 18th, 2020. Get it here: https://napalmdeath.lnk.to/Thr....oesofJoyintheJawsofD

Video directed by Marc Nickel / Ljuba Generalova
Production Company: Ljuba Generalova
Special thanks to Alex Gohari for all the help and support!

NAPALM DEATH frontman Mark ‘Barney’ Greenway comments about the special topic covered within the song and clip as follows: “Although we can only hope to provide a snapshot in four-minutes, what we wanted to try to illustrate with the “Contagion” video is how difficult it has been made to do something as fundamental as moving freely as a human being. There is downright absurdity in that some people have to resort to mortal danger doing things like riding atop trains whilst others can move seamlessly and freely without a second thought. We advocate for an end to borders of all description. Complementing that, the sweaty live footage was shot brilliantly by Ljuba Generalova in NAPALM DEATH’s virtual second home of Berlin and the music, you might say, just motors along like a train.”

And NAPALM DEATH bassist Shane Embury, who wrote the music and the lyrics for “Contagion”, added as follows: “Musically, “Contagion” is geared towards manic intense live mosh pit action but with an added 4AD noise quirk homage chorus! Also, having so many friends in the Latin community, through a couple of them I learned and read about the perilous journeys that families embark on for the chance at a better life. As a parent, I think of my children’s future all the time - the things we take for granted I wanted to reflect lyrically!”

CONTAGION
(music and lyrics: Embury)

Perilous is the heart that thrives
Towards a new life is what they strive
Blood is lost as debts are paid
Against all odds In a jungle maze
Steam burns and skin is cracked
Families huddle on the roof racks
Boldly robbed in the nights glare
Human prey for corporate fare

Contagion
Greed is a contagion refined with a soulless poison
They negotiate in innocence with a greed that's infectious

Back to back on the spine of the beast
Willing to die if that's what it takes
Towards lands that refuse to accept
And build walls to blind eyes to the deaths
Out of fear they run and hide
A glimpse of rapture their one true guide
The quest for what we take for granted
What should be done to help those disenchanted?

Contagion

Greed is a contagion refined with a soulless Poison
They negotiate in innocence with a greed that's infectious
Blood soaked currency dictating their doctrine
Baneful sadists
Greed is a contagion

Babies are hoisted aboard the carrion
Negotiations to escape
(Limbs upon limbs) bodies fall in the throes of sleep
Or in the humid darkness are raped

Summoning courage without guarantees
There's no going back, every minute they've seized

(Violent extortion) The brutalities of this inhuman course, as their fragile governments try to enforce

Contagion
