Almost a year late

to the rodeo,

but FACT Mag

recently put me on

to an album

by Philadelphia act

Japanese Breakfast.

The eight song album

Psychopomp

is refreshing, dreamy,

and stuck in another

decade, a more innocent

time when love is plentiful

and grey skies

are taken on

with swords of optimism.

Listen to the blissful

guitar-driven

pop rock,

with one of the nicest

finishing tracks

in recent memory.

From the instrumental

of “Moon on the Bath”

to the moving

“Triple 7”,

Psychopomp ends

oh so nicely.

Grab a cassette

and a T-shirt

as you listen,

because after all,

“Everybody Wants

to Love You”
