The Japanese House has released her long awaited debut album Good At Falling, via Dirty Hit. Produced by The Japanese House, BJ Burton (Low, Bon Iver, Francis and the Lights) and The 1975's George Daniel, Good At Falling follows four acclaimed EPs and includes the singles 'Lilo' and 'Maybe You're the Reason', as well as 'Follow My Girl' and 'We Talk all the Time'. In the run up to Good At Falling, The Japanese House (aka Amber Bain ) played a sold out show at the Scala, completed a twelve date European tour, and received acclaim from The Guardian, the Sunday Times, NME and more.
Good At Falling began as demos recorded by Bain on her laptop in her room in London, and was finished in studios across Wisconsin, Brussels and Oxford, by Bain, BJ Burton and George Daniel. The result is an album that draws from Bain's life in a way her work never has before - a more personal, vulnerable and yet confident body of work. "These songs are definitely more direct" explains Bain, "the album has a lot more of me in it, so it makes sense".

To celebrate the release of Good At Falling, The Japanese House yesterday shared the video for latest single 'Maybe You're the Reason', which sees Amber searching for answers amidst the shadows, pulling at the less optimistic threads from the glowing sad-pop anthem. Bain will also visit three Rough Trade stores across the country for live acoustic in store shows in celebration of the album. These intimate shows come ahead of her UK tour in March, including a night at London's Electric Ballroom. For more information visit http://thejapanesehouse.co.uk/live.
