throw me out, and call it distance I still hate it, this town you left me if you’re alone, what am I? if you’re alone, what am I? thought you’d write to me when this was over did you think of me spinning in the palm of your hand? ‘cause I think of you way too often looking out every window that I can

My dad’s friend, Craig Hendrix, painted this gem. When? Who knows? Me and my sister discovered it in the basement a few years ago when we reorganized our family room. She is our favorite painting we own now.

Japanese Breakfast Kicks Off Two-Night Stand at Brooklyn Steel

Japanese Breakfast – Brooklyn Steel – January 17, 2019

With a wave of Asian American singer-songwriters gracing last year’s best-of lists, most notably Mitski and Milck, one Michelle Zauner carved out her space in groups, Little Big League and Post Post, before venturing solo under the moniker Japanese Breakfast. She toured with Mitski and another fellow Asian American, Jay Som, back in 2016, as well as directing a video for the latter. Zauner’s most recent release, 2017’s Soft Sounds from Another Planet, garnered praise from the AV Club and NPR’s All Songs Considered. Japanese Breakfast brought those otherworldly tunes to Brooklyn Steel on Thursday night for the first of two sold-out shows.

The lush strings of the opener, the appropriately galactic instrumentation of “Planetary Ambience,” provided entry music for Zauner, who donned a white halter gown complete with hooped rings sewn into the garment. The heavily Auto-Tuned single “Machinist” quickly energized the room, with folks bopping along to the saxophone interlude. The singer’s husband, guitarist Peter Bradley, showed his prowess on “Heft” as he shredded the song’s ending for exclamation. Jbrekkie, as she’s referred to on social media, wasn’t new to Brooklyn Steel having opened for Slowdive two years ago—and more recently to attend the Boygenius show. That did not stop her from professing that it was a “crazy miracle” to be headlining.

The audience erupted into cheers for fan-favorite “Boyish,” originally a Little Big League track. The songwriter has written about dealing with the grief of her mother’s passing in the solace of Korean food, and it didn’t come as a surprise that during “The Body Is a Blade” pictures of her mom and her younger self were projected onstage, a daughter’s truly moving tribute of to her mother. Producer Craig Hendrix joined the Zauner, who strapped on an acoustic guitar for a rendition of “This House,” while more images of her mom were displayed. Not to leave the evening too somber, the upbeat “Everybody Wants to Love You” and an encore cover of the Flaming Lips’ “Race for the Prize” concluded the evening. —Sharlene Chiu
