WFPK Song of the Day: The Japanese House " :) " (Smiley Face)

How can you not instantly fall in love with “ Smiley Face " the bouncy new song from indie pop artist The Japanese House (AKA Amber Bain )? The track tells the true story of Bain’s experience of falling in love through a chance meeting on a dating app. This is The Japanese House’s first new material since last year’s album, In The End It Always Does.

“‘Smiley Face’ is a song I wrote when I was very excited about talking to someone off a dating app” , Bain shared. “She lived in Detroit and I was fantasising about flying to meet her. I was in a session at the time for someone else stuff but I couldn’t help this song spilling out of me, I was in some sort of frenzy. Turns out I did buy the plane tickets, now we’re engaged.”
