The Japanese House is the solo project of English indie pop artist Amber Bain, who began releasing music under this moniker in 2015. Characterized by a blend of dreamy synth-pop, ethereal electronic textures, and introspective lyrics, The Japanese House quickly garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. Bain's enigmatic soundscapes are often attributed to her use of layered vocals and innovative production techniques, which she initially honed with the assistance of George Daniel and Matthew Healy of The 1975, who co-produced her early work.

The project debuted with the EP "Pools to Bathe In," leading to a series of releases that showcased Bain's evolution as a songwriter and producer. Her debut full-length album, "Good At Falling," released in 2019, was met with positive reviews and featured tracks such as "Lilo" and "Maybe You're the Reason," cementing her place in the indie music scene. The Japanese House continued to explore emotional depths and sonic landscapes through subsequent EPs like "Chewing Cotton Wool" and "The LA Sessions," as well as singles like "Saw You In A Dream" and "Something Has to Change." The intimate and reflective nature of her discography, including the ITEIAD Sessions, serves as a testament to Bain's prowess in crafting poignant narratives that resonate with listeners.
