The Japanese House (a former Consequence CoSign!) joins Kyle Meredith to discuss the indie pop project’s latest full-length album, In the End It Always Does, and more.

Amber Bain, the creative force behind The Japanese House, digs into the revealing nature of her songs, taking inspiration from 101 Dalmatians and Richard Linklater’s Boyhood, and how what she was reading during the writing process manifested in the lyrics. Bain also talks about Joni Mitchell’s influence on her melodies and guitar tunings, and why she chose to cover ABBA’s “Super Trouper” in a live show.

“I love that song — actually, I don’t love that song,” she admits while laughing. “It’s one of my least favorite ABBA songs. I found it kind of annoying because it’s so fast. ABBA are one of favorite bands, and I’m more of a ‘Slipping Through My Fingers’ kind of guy.”
