'More often than not, Japanese Breakfast's songs have a way of washing over the listener rather than banging them over the head with sound,' writes Britt Julious.
Japanese Breakfast lead singer Michelle Zauner performs at the Salt Shed in Chicago on July 9, 2023.
That’s not to say Japanese Breakfast’s music is not hard-hitting. But more often than not, their songs have a way of washing over the listener rather than banging them over the head with sound. Watching frontwoman Michelle Zauner open was a divine and lovely experience.The show began with “Paprika,” the opening track of the band’s 2021 album “Jubilee.” It is a fitting song.
“Be Sweet,” the second track off of “Jubilee” and the second song of the evening, inspired just as much fervor, with many audience members closest to the stage dancing along to the winsome tune. And indeed, this was a sentiment shared with the audience, many of whom seemed to swoon with each new song. This was especially evident with a song like “Boyish,” a Little Big League cover from Japanese Breakfast’s second album, which made a few audience members shout in joy as the first few notes of the track’s signature guitar began to play. The song, which is more lyrically despondent than hopeful, seemed to tap into something profound for Sunday’s enamored audience.
