The Japanese House (not to be confused with Japanese Breakfast) is coming back to the Minneapolis area, this time at the Fine Line Music Café on May 1st. We previously caught the Buckinghamshire singer at the now-defunct Triple Rock Social Club in Feb 2017 and said, “As previously mentioned, the band is really a stagename for solo artist Amber Bain, who released three EPs: Pools to Bathe In, Clean, and the latest Swim Against the Tide.

The Japanese House’s debut LP Good at Falling is out now on Dirty Hit/Interscope Records.
