The Japanese House has just released a new single, One for sorrow, two for Joni Jones. The stripped back track carries a depth of emotion and you can check out the live video here:
About the track:
Written with MUNA’s Katie Gavin and co–produced by The Japanese House’s Amber Bain with Chloe Kraemer, “One for sorrow, two for Joni Jones” is named after Bain’s dog, who is in turn named after Joni Mitchell. As the final track on the record, the song ends with a gentle flourish of pianos and single drum hit to
seamlessly bring listeners back to the start of the record creating an endless loop the way Bain intended.“This is myfavorite song, and I wrote it as a piece ages ago when I was playing the piano and [producer] Chloe would record me playing the piano loads with my dog on my lap,” saidAmber Bain. “We sat on the music for ages then Katie from MUNA came down to the studio and put the rambling lyrics over music in a Joni Mitchell kind of way. I’m trying to encapsulate that feeling, a sort of ode to that feeling when Emma Thompson stands there and cries when she’s holding the CD in Love Actually. The lyrics are about the confirmation that my relationship was dead, and it’s the only song I’ve ever cried during the vocal take which has never happened before.”
The new album In the End It Always Does is set to release on June 30 on Dirty Hit. You can presave the new album here: https://japanesehouse.ffm.to/iteiad
