Japanese Breakfast have dropped a diaphanous song titled “Glider.” The song will be featured in the soundtrack of the video game Sable, which is due to release in September. Layers of synths and piano cascade through the track as Michelle Zauner’s voice flows in and over the soundscape.
“I was so lucky Daniel Fineberg and Gregorios Kythreotis from Shedworks invited me onto this game so early on,” Zauner said in a press release. “I was immediately captivated by the world they’d built, a desert planet filled with mysterious natural and architectural wonders, and the story they’d imagined, one of a young girl coming of age through exploration. It was important to me that each biome in this world felt unique.”
Zauner continued, “I used woodwinds and vocal layering to make monumental ruins feel ancient and unknown, industrial samples and soft synths to make atomic ships feel cold and metallic, classical guitar and bright piano to make encampments feel cozy and familiar. I wanted the main themes to recall iconic works of Joe Hisaishi and Alan Menken, to fill the listener with the childlike wonder of someone on the precipice of a grand discovery.”
The full soundtrack for Sable arrives on Sept. 4. Japanese Breakfast is presently on tour for the album Jubilee, which was released on June 4, 2021.
Zauner has also recently released a book titled Crying in H Mart.
