Japanese Breakfast has your next bout of strep covered, music-wise
Are you ever home with a serious case of strep — hacking and coughing all over the place — wishing that you had the perfect strep throat playlist to jam to? If you can relate to this weirdly specific scenario, it’s your lucky day! NYC-based music/culture magazine The Fader often asks their favorite artists to put together a playlist of songs that represent a certain vibe. They call it their Current Mood Series and, in its sixth edition, Philly’s Japanese Breakfast shares 11 songs that got frontwoman Michelle Zauner through a recent case of strep throat.
Featured on Breakfast’s playlist are some solid XPN favorites: Jay Som’s “Superbike”, Mannequin Pussy’s “Cream”, and (Sandy) Alex G’s “Gretel”. Check out all the hand-picked tracks below (you don’t need to have strep throat to enjoy). In fact, your health better be at its peak because XPoNential Music Festival is this weekend, and Japanese Breakfast is performing as one of our Friday night headliners. You can’t miss it.
