Biography:
Japanese Breakfast is the solo musical project of American musician Michelle Zauner ( of Little Girl, Big Spoon, Post Post, Little Big League).
Zauner released a tape in June 2013 under the solo moniker Japanese Breakfast. The tape was titled June and boasted thirty tracks written and recorded every day of the month. A stark deviation from Little Big League's guitar-based indie rock, it showcased Zauner's dark lyrics, unique vocals and inherent knack for pop melody.
