Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner has joined forces with Crying’s Ryan Galloway for a new quarantine project called BUMPER. Today, they’ve announced their debut EP pop songs 2020, which is officially out tomorrow (September 4) but you can stream in its entirety now. Listen to the four-track project below (via Rolling Stone).
Zauner and Galloway live three blocks apart from one another in New York City, but haven’t seen each other in person since the pandemic began earlier this year. They started sharing tracks for the new EP over email back in June.

it was a nice little thing. i posted about it in the crying thread but not much discussion. galloway also co-produced "slide tackle" from the new one which was the standout

weird synth ballad for a game soundtrack, the rest of the soundtrack is out next month & mostly going to be ambient synth stuff like the backing here

Anyone else liking the Sable soundtrack? Some really nice cues / instrumentals / songs on here.

I've only listened to it a couple of times and need to revisit it soon. Really nice stuff.

haven't listened to the new(ish) album yet, but saw her on SNL this week and thought it was ... terrible? Am I the only one?

I thought she sounded fine, though neither topped the album versions. She was so happy to be there, it was adorable.

On the first song on SNL while she looked happy to be there, I thought her voice sounded a bit off and almost amateurish/karoake ish. On the second song it seemed she had steadied her nerves and had it it more together. But it still didn't live up the album .

'soft sounds' is a perfect album

Agreed. I'm so glad Jubilee was a breakout album for them and has done so well, but Soft Sounds is in a different league. One of my favourites of the last ten years.
