Photo Credit: Tonje Thilesen  Japanese Breakfast has shared “Glider,” the lead single from the original video game soundtrack, Sable. The soundtrack is available for pre-save and pre-order now, and due Sept 24th, via Sony Music Masterworks.    Of the soundtrack, Michelle Zauner says, “I was so lucky Daniel Fineberg and Gregorios Kythreotis from Shedworks invited me onto this game so early on. I was immediately captivated by the world they’d built, a desert planet filled with mysterious natural and architectural wonders, and the story they’d imagined, one of a young girl coming of age through exploration. It was important to me that each biome in this world felt unique. I used woodwinds and vocal layering to make monumental ruins feel ancient and unknown, industrial samples and soft synths to make atomic ships feel cold and metallic, classical guitar and bright piano to make encampments feel cozy and familiar. I wanted the main themes to recall iconic works of Joe Hisaishi and Alan Menken, to fill the listener with the childlike wonder of someone on the precipice of a grand discovery."    The Sable soundtrack features instrumental and vocal music written by Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner for the highly anticipated, open-world video game. Drawing from her years of songwriting experience, the 32-track collection finds the musician, director and author making new explorations into ambient and experimental music, the resulting soundtrack as breathtaking and otherworldly as the game itself. From indie game developer Shedworks and publisher Raw Fury, Sable will be available September 23 on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC.    Also available for preorder today is the vinyl edition of the soundtrack, which will arrive Spring 2022 as a 2-LP disc set in gatefold packaging. In addition to the standard edition, an artist exclusive edition is also now available to preorder on Japanese Breakfast’s official merch store and various color variants will be exclusive to retailers including Newbury Comics, Light in the Attic and Vinyl Me Please.   Japanese Breakfast's critically acclaimed new album, Jubilee, is out now via Dead Oceans. Michelle Zauner's New York Times Best Selling memoir, Crying In H Mart, soon to be adapted for the screen by MGM's Orion Pictures, is out now via Knopf.   Catch Japanese Breakfast making their triumphant return to stages across North America this summer and fall.
