Featuring the singles One for sorrow, two for Joni Jones, Sunshine Baby, Sad to Breathe and Boyhood, In The End It Always Does marked Amber Bain’s (aka The Japanese House) first full-length release since Good At Falling in 2019 and revealed her sound and style wide open; her vulnerabilities, thoughts and innermost feelings stitched into a tapestry of gorgeous, elevated pop music.

LISTEN TO IN THE END IT ALWAYS DOES

Talking about the album title, Amber said at the time: “It’s about falling in love and not wanting it to end but knowing that it always does. I think a lot of people hear the title and think about it in an optimistic way but that’s not what I mean. I hear the title as sad because things always end, no matter what you think is going to happen, but that can also be a positive thing because endings are just a change. It could be the end of a phase in a relationship or something else; it’s cyclical.”
