Taken from her forthcoming EP Pools To Bathe In, 19 year old London-based artist The Japanese House has just released her debut single ‘Still’.

Co-produced by George Daniel and Matty Healy of The 1975, the track is familiarly synthy and comes with a bit of a nod to their experimental early tracks, but is still filled with originality.
Her hauntingly beautiful vocals against a delicately thought-out electronic melody makes for one of the most incredible debuts we’ve heard in a long time, and her music gives melancholia a whole new lease of life. This track is nothing short of breathtaking.
