Japanese Breakfast reveals details of SABLE soundtrack

Japanese Breakfast has revealed the details of her soundtrack to the video game SABLE. The soundtrack album will be released on September 24 via Sony Masterworks, and today she’s shared a new track from the album, titled “Glider.” Hear it below.

Michelle Zauner says in a statement, “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.”

SABLE follows her newest album, Jubilee.
