The first Japanese Breakfast release was June (2013), the result of a project where Zauner and Rachel Gagliardi recorded and posted one song every day for the month of June. These songs were posted daily on the Tumblr blog 'rachelandmichelledojune'. As Japanese Breakfast, Zauner also participated in a song project with musicians Gabrielle Smith, Florist, Frankie Cosmos, and Small Wonder. All of their songs were posted daily on the Tumblr blog 'may5to12songs'. Zauner released her songs from the project on Bandcamp as a digital album entitled Where Is My Great Big Feeling? on June 6, 2014, followed shortly by American Sound on July 24. Both were released as the cassette tape American Sound/Where Is My Great Big Feeling.Re-recorded versions of several songs from these releases appeared on the first two Japanese Breakfast albums. While in Oregon with her family, Zauner continued recording as Japanese Breakfast. She described the project as having much more to say after Tropical Jinx, the 2014 studio album by Little Big League. Originally Zauner began to record samples of music as a meditative exercise and "instant gratification". -- Wikipedia[Read More]
