#283: Japanese Breakfast, “Jubilee”

Michelle Zauner’s first two albums as Japanese Breakfast sounded promising, but not really that exciting – not that it aimed at that. But, as soon as the horns in “Paprika” kick in, you can’t help but feel this *is* the breakout album we were waiting for from a stellar songwriter. Ironically enough, it was the inward-looking, gorgeous slow burner album closer “Posing for Cars” that made us pick “Jubilee” as our album of the week. Go get it.

#80: Kevin Morby, “Beautiful Stranger” b/w “No Place to Fall”

Brand new Kevin Morby single? Count us in, especially if the b-side is a beautiful Townes van Zandt cover. We also wanted an excuse to publish this picture of his concert at the Vodafone Paredes de Coura festival earlier this year.
