Dreamy stuff from Amber Bain, the solo artist behind the moniker “The Japanese House” (no relation to Beach House). After a string of EPs between 2015 and 2016, the U.K. artist introduced “Saw You In a Dream” as the first single of 2017, following up her end of the year release. While creating a separation between her work and personal identity, Amber brings a lot of introspection to her music - recounting experiences of love and loss, basing projects on various relationships. “Saw You In a Dream” recalls a close friend of younger years who’s passed not too long ago. The sadness and longing is felt through sullen verses, but that’s combated with a pleasant chorus centered around the beauty her subconscious brings in dreams of her friend, which “is enough” although not “the same”. It’s a beautiful memorial, bringing light to something otherwise dark through word and sound. Further, the track is a great showcase of the talent that is The Japanese House, and being backed by co-producers George Daniel and Matt Healy (The 1975), she’s poised to create some excitement in the electronic pop world. Enjoy the experimental sounds of "Saw You In a Dream" below.
