They're also doing some music for an upcoming game "Sable"
I have been getting into them recently as well with the release of Jubile. They have a fantastic back catalog as well.

She's also a published author! Crying in H Mart came out a couple months ago I think.
This is what happens to me every time someone talks about "Japanese Breakfast". In the case of this thread, it doesn't help that the title has the first letter of each word capitalized, so there's no way to actually differentiate.
I came for Jbrekkie love (her latest album is great) and got great combini breakfast tips for whenever I manage to get back to Japan. Win win!
Just got the new album from Secretly Society (well worth a membership, IMHO) this week. It's a pretty solid LP.

Hell yeah they are. The opening track on the new album, Paprika, is going to be hard to top for my song of the use.
I discovered her music when someone I follow on Twitter retweeted her tweet that said "DIE BITCH!!!" When it was announced that Trump got COVID.
I thought I'd check out her music and fell in love with it.
I think she was forced to delete it though because I can't find it anymore.

Lmao
They're not actually the only country where breakfast is basically another lunch
Saw her open fo Belle & Sebastian a few years ago and until that point hadn't had an interest in her music but she put on a good show, and I warmed up to them. Then she's been just ubiquitous this album cycle, which could risk overexposure if everything she was doing wasn't so good. Really enjoy the new album.
I knew of her but it wasn't until the cool Sable tie-in that it clicked how good she is.

They're great, the new album is damn good.
They played 15 miles away from me a couple of years ago and I didn't know until after :( One of my fave songs of theirs...

There's an older version of Posing In Bondage from 2-3 years ago which is cool and a bit different to the version on Jubilee
The women co-staring in the Be Sweet video fronts Mannequin Pussy which is a band I like a lot. JB not bad tho!
Lmao that's not even what people in Japan eat for breakfast. That so perfectly fits the fake foreign mystique articles that you'll find in every home design or food magazine.
Jubilee is quite good. Seeing them and Mannequin Pussy in Asheville next month. My first concert post-COVID lockdown, so stoked.
Pretty sure I've posted them in the indie thread.
Saw them a couple of times, the first was when they and Jay Som were opening for Mitski. Talk about a triple bill.
