Review

'Soft Sounds from Another Planet' is a musical journey that'll make you feel like you're floating through space and time. Michelle Zauner, the creative force behind Japanese Breakfast, really outdid herself on this one. It's wild how she mixes up indie rock, shoegaze, and even some electronic dance vibes to create this dreamy, introspective sound that just washes over you.

What really hits home is how Zauner digs deep into her own experiences with loss and grief, but manages to turn it into something hopeful. It's like she's processing her mom's passing through her music, but instead of getting stuck in the sadness, she's finding ways to be grateful for the people still in her life. The critics went nuts for this album, praising how it keeps that personal touch while exploring new musical territories.

If you're looking for some standout tracks, 'Diving Woman' and 'Road Head' are total gems with their dreamy vibes and killer riffs. And man, seeing Japanese Breakfast live? That's a whole other level of awesome. Fans who caught their shows between 2017 and 2019 say it totally changed how they heard the album. It's one of those records that just keeps getting better the more you listen to it. - Rory
