If you have been living under a musical rock in 2015, and don’t know much about THE JAPANESE HOUSE, you are about to give your ears a real treat. The finer points: She isn’t Japanese, and she doesn’t make music about houses. The big picture: The Japanese House is the extremely talented 20 year old Londoner, Amber Bain, who has made 2015 her bitch.

Releasing her debut single, ‘Teeth’ in April, The Japanese House has since then released two EP’s along with a string of intricate and artsy videos. It wasn’t until the first EP, Pools To Bathe In, was released that the curtain of mystery surrounding this young triple threat, began to lift. ‘Clean’, the title track from The Japanese House’s second EP

Much of The Japanese House’s music revolves around the interlacing theme of water. While the lyrics may touch on many other themes, they always come back to ideas like ‘Cool Blue’, ‘Still’, and ‘Clean’. Each track offers something new, although the promise is always a layered piece of music that keeps you paying attention til’ the very last beat. The tracks have layered vocals reminiscent of Imogen Heap, and somehow give you feelings of both bittersweet sadness and wistful smiles.

t is exactly this that makes The Japanese House an artist to watch. With two EP’s in a matter of months, and many live shows planned for 2016, keeping track of the directions her videos and sounds will take is going to be one of the better journeys your ears will take in the new year.

This time last year no-one had heard of The Japanese House. Yet by the time the calendar page ticked over to 2016, Amber Bain was one of the most talked about new artists around. In just a few short months she debuted with a Zane Lowe premiere, a place on the Dirty Hit roster and The 1975 on production duties, and left with two highly acclaimed EPs, Pools to Bathe In and Clean, under her belt.

Her music is magical and multi layered with melodies and her beguiling androgynous vocal enchanting and entrancing. She was second on the Blog Sound of 2016 poll as well as on the Tipping Point’s Tips of the Year and if weren’t for the likelihood of an album being released next year, we’d expect her to be on the BBC Sound of 2017 poll.
