I like The Japanese House as an artist because their music always scratches a particular itch for me: dreamy, heavily produced, and chilled out songs, perfect for driving late at night. This new track jumped out at me because it guest stars another amazing producer and vocalist: Justin Vernon, otherwise known as the vocals and face of Bon Iver.

Bon Iver is in the public eye now more than ever because of the prominent feature on exile, a track on Taylor Swift's new masterpiece of an album, folklore. That's a great thing, because Bon Iver deserves way more recognition for the captivating, intricate, and creative music they make. Justin Vernon provides the vocals for that project, often filtered through pedals and filters, and this feature this track is no exception. There's tons of crunchy, layered harmonies from Amber Bain as well as Justin Vernon, and it creates a whole soundscape of Imogen Heap-style vocoder.

Thanks for reading!
