The Japanese House

Indie pop singer, songwriter, and musician Amber Bain – born July 13, 1995, in Buckinghamshire, England – is better known by the stage name The Japanese House. As a child, she was taught music by her father and by the time she reached her teens, she had decided to focus on a career in music. In 2012, at the age of 17, she was introduced to Matt Healey from the band The 1975, who offered to produce her music for the band’s Dirty Hit label. Writing and recording under the pseudonym The Japanese House, she released her debut single, “Still,” in 2015 to great acclaim. Her androgynous voice and unique musical approach brought her critical and commercial success. She released two EPs in 2015 – Pools to Bathe In and Clean – and toured with The 1975 and Wolf Alice before headlining shows of her own. After the release of three more EPs – Swim Against the Tide (2016), Saw You In a Dream (2017), and Spotify Singles (2017) – she released her debut album, Good at Falling, in 2019 to positive reviews. Later that year, she issued The L.A. Sessions EP, which was followed a year later by the Chewing Cotton Wool EP, which featured “Dionne,” a collaboration with Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon. After nearly a three year wait, The Japanese House released the single “Boyhood” (2023), which was the first taster for her second album.
