I love Amber and her music, and also the interviewer is sooo good, he really did his research, asked interesting questions, let her speak, and so on, it's brilliant!
I play the guitar just like her and when you learn it that way it's just normal to you, it doesn't keep me from playing anything when it starts to get into technical play and bends are easier on the A,D,G,B,E strings because you would bend them down but the low E string I have to bend up. apparently me and her are not the only one's like this, I seen a guy at guitar center play like me & her too. the funny thing is we can seen what normal guitarist's are playing really well but you would have no clue what we are playing lol
He's so respectful, doesn't talk over her at all, lets the conversation flow. You'd think people like this were more common. It's amazing what a good interviewer can facilitate
Great interview. I appreciate interviewers that have done a bit more research and not be asking the same intro questions. In terms of releases, I don't mind EPs. I find them more a concentrated feel of that time period. Plus, all tracks are usually $1-2 dollars anyway - I've bought all her EPs though; The music I quite like at this moment of my life.
Thanks for noticing! Jon puts in a lot of time researching so the interview is fun not just for the audience but also for the artist. Thanks for watching!
@@909thebridge We can tell! It's amazing what a knowledgable, good interviewer can do compared to someone who sits down and asks the most basic, obvious questions. Great stuff
Great interview! Learning ancient Greek is a lovely way to spend free time. They say that learning a new language makes you more creative. Like you can think in new ways. Especially for a poet or song writer. Love the music keep it up!
This is a great interview, it makes me actually want to go watch your interviews with other artists. Also, these are beautiful versions of these songs. I love them so much.
im back from the future of 2022 this is still the best mix and version of these songs i can feel the emotions and care in them from the live and the mixing is so fantastic
Seen them at a festival in France 3 years ago and assumed they'd be Japanese house music. 😅 Pleasantly surprised, great performance and great festival. 🤗🤘
I only got into this band in 2023 but listening to this I can see why the natural thing to do on album 1 was to collab with the bon iver lead singer. The third song especially felt very bon iverish
1:16 Yes, that is the real story. The Beatles were tired of the crowds and being mobbed all the time. It wasn't until after they stopped touring that their more intricate records were written that would have been difficult to play on stage (at least back then).
The Japanese House is one of my favourite artist and the main reference I have when I'm writing a song. As a guitar player, I always try to reach the vibes she puts in her songs. You can hear it in my new song, "Thinking Of A Place" that I have just released. Any comment or feedback is appreciated !

She's using the Voicelive 3 Extreme for all of her vocal effects. Its a pretty powerful (and expensive) pedal. Other than that, I believe most of her guitar effects are JHS pedals.
EloiseMwahaha she swears by the way huge electronics swollen pickle, which despite being a fuzz can give a really good gain boost without being gnarly (although it can do that too) it's definitely audible in clean, because musicians set their pedal boards in a lot of acoustic performances they'll have pedals that they don't use at their feet because it's convenient to set up. Also the reverb comes from the fender iron face amp which has some of the nicest amp reverbs around
Doomed Nymph I love the "Iron Face" thing. I had never heard a silver face amp called that but that's what I'm calling them from now on because it sounds way cooler
Her pedalboard has a Way Huge swollen pickle, Digitech polara reverb, Ibanez Tube Screamer, Behringer vintage delay and TC helicon voicelive extreme. I think she also uses a Boss harmonist pitch shifter all through a Fender vibrolux amp.

Jon Hart 👏
ikr, this is such a good interview!!
The definition of good interviews
Kinda crazy how she plays a right handed guitar left handed, but doesn't flip the strings.
never seen anything like this before
J C He strung it like a left handed guitar. She is literally playing a right handed guitar upside down.
I play the guitar just like her and when you learn it that way it's just normal to you, it doesn't keep me from playing anything when it starts to get into technical play and bends are easier on the A,D,G,B,E strings because you would bend them down but the low E string I have to bend up. apparently me and her are not the only one's like this, I seen a guy at guitar center play like me & her too. the funny thing is we can seen what normal guitarist's are playing really well but you would have no clue what we are playing lol
Lots of people play like that.
You be surprised what southpaws can do...some can write using both hands.
I would buy an EP of just these versions.
I know right! All of the individual tracks will be on our page soon so maybe a playlist needs to be made. Thanks for watching!
I like the music a lot, and I LOVE THE INTERVIEWER, he’s so great!

Her picking hand is blowing my mind, with the right-handed guitar flipped. Never seen someone play a guitar like this.
i love respectful the interview is. he’s very patient with her -in a good way
Jon is a patient dude.
Im a left handed guitarist but now I wanna play an upside-down right handed guitar
Agustin De la Cruz Same bruh
i literally just did it yesterday it’s really easy actually use chord inversions and triads that’ll help you a lot
I'm a right-handed guitarist but now I wanna play an upside-down right handed guitar... and learn to play left handed.
she's so adorable omfg
especially when she's fidgeting with the guitar while answering questions, its so cute
I love these versions of her songs. It's so pure and organic it makes me wish she had an album of just her and her strat.
this is my comfort video. I keep coming back to it. LOVE The Japanese House !!

That's probably one of the reasons she's so good! More of us should learn a second language.

keep coming back to watch this... please, make an album like this! :)
Yeah, that would be sweet! Thanks for watching.
I love her music. She has something different.
all of these comments from 3 years ago make me smile, because Amber has come so far in this time and grown so much.
incredible. loved hearing her voice and style in these stripped back versions
Lovely interview and music
Jon (the interviewer) and Amber are both lovely so that makes sense.
Jon Hart is the REASON I’m subscribing. Most Excellent!
this version of Still is so cool. it's so different from the studio version!
such a meaningful interview! amber is always adorable. cant wait for the album.
We can't wait either! Thanks for watching!
This video is amazing. So well shot, the interviewer is great, The Japanese House gives such a wonderful and haunting performance.
Thank you, thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. The Japanese House is wonderful.
Face like thunder acoustic version better than original???
It's definitely debatable. It's a much more moodier version than the original that's for sure.
I prefer this one, more emotional
i love that "oh sorry" it was just so adorable
the quality of this interview and especially this video is incredible. Thank you thank you! keep making these!
Goddamn this is beautiful
I love her so much.
Control
Just discovered her the other day, she sounds great! :) Looking forward to hearing more from her.
soooo much more into these stripped-down versions than the band. Please, do an album like this and I'll fall in love
this is a wonderful interview!! amber is so incredibly talented and inspiring!
Kinda in love with her voice, reminds me sometimes of imogen heap
Seen them at a festival in France 3 years ago and assumed they'd be Japanese house music. 😅
Pleasantly surprised, great performance and great festival. 🤗🤘

Ac tally they stopped touring because Paul died and was replaced.
Teeth is a great song. My favorite The Japanese House song. The EP version is tremendous.
Forever my fav artist ❤
this interview. So good.
Jon Hart slays. Thanks for watching!
Love her actual voice. I wish they can create songs that would make her voice stand out. Nevertheless i love her
dude that sound is pretty dank. i lil too heavy on the vocals imo for the effects but the guitar sound was pretty rad.
Beautiful
I can't really understand why people keep saying she's anyhow androgynous. She appears very feminine to me. Whatever that matters.
I think her singing voice might throw someone off if they didn't know she was a female, and then saw her for the first time.
Her voice is pretty androgynous, but I agree that her physical appearance isn't necessarily
I think people are usually talking about her voice
4:43 Face like Thunder

She's so precious 😍
[Verse 1]
It's gone too far to ever go back
You know I wouldn't give you up but baby, I don't want that
It hits you so hard to be so good
You know you keep so still and maybe it's a kind of flag
Maybe it's the reason that I'm back
Maybe it's alright
Maybe I've always been this kind
Baby, it's too hard, I'm too scarred for this to work again
But you know I still wake up with you every morning like we're still dead
[Chorus]
I heard she's running out again
I know you're over that
I know that look you didn't want
You're all I've got
I heard you're fired up again
I know something doesn't feel right
You know it's gotta feel right
[Verse 2]
It's not the same now
Then for a while, this feeling hasn't changed
It eats me so hard to feel so great
You know you kept so clean, I was the reason that you didn't stay
Maybe it's the reason you're so glazed
Maybe it's alright
Maybe I've always been so afraid
Baby, it's too hard, I'm too scarred for this to work again
But you know I still wake up with you every morning like we're still dead
[Chorus]
I heard she's running out again
I know, get over that
I know that look you didn't want
You're all I've got
I heard you fucked it up again
I know something doesn't feel right
You know it's gotta feel right
I heard she's running out again (You kept so still)
I know you're over that
I know that look you didn't want, you're all I've got (You kept so clean, you kept so still)
I heard you fucked it up again (You kept so still)
I know something doesn't feel right
You know it's gotta feel right

[Verse 1]
I'm the steel-boned and iron blooded creep
I'm the tongue-flooded mouth and I cannot speak
I'm the scars upon your knees
I'm the scrapes allowing your skin to breathe
I could be anything
[Chorus]
And it was so brief
A kick in the teeth
Oil and powdered lungs
Because I know how to breathe
And it was so brief
I want more time for luck
And then I go again
[Intro]
Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo
[Verse 2]
You're the movements in my sleep
You are the words I couldn't keep
I saw the fumes and watched them seep
Into the wounds you bear to bleed
I could lose everything
[Chorus]
And it was so brief
A kick in the teeth
Oil and powdered lungs
Because I know how to breathe
And it was so brief
I want more time for luck
And then I go again
[Outro: In reverse]
Because I know how to breathe
Because I know how to breathe
Because I know how to breathe
Because I know how to breathe

Unanimous agreement with you at The Bridge.

Ive always been amazed at how some musicians can play guitar upside down how do you figure the chords and fingering that way
She says she just has to figure them out. There’s no guitar teachers that know them

legend statuz
This makes me, as a lefty, want to buy a righty to learn upside down.
DO IT.
Nice! Just never understood why guitarists nowdays play upside down? There are enough left handed guitars?
First time hearing her. I wish her releases sounded like this. Sounds so much better with the pop effects stripped out.
Amber better record a studio version of Face Like Thunder acoustic
i cried
I kept thinking about Cobain and hearing Coldplay. Way cool.
Ah, I can definitely see that. Good catch!
She's as good as anything/anyone that has made music.
This interviewer reminds me of a male version of the great Cheryl Waters from KEXP i like them both
that riif on "maybe its alright"
Anyone recognise the pedals she's using?
She's using the Voicelive 3 Extreme for all of her vocal effects. Its a pretty powerful (and expensive) pedal. Other than that, I believe most of her guitar effects are JHS pedals.
EloiseMwahaha she swears by the way huge electronics swollen pickle, which despite being a fuzz can give a really good gain boost without being gnarly (although it can do that too) it's definitely audible in clean, because musicians set their pedal boards in a lot of acoustic performances they'll have pedals that they don't use at their feet because it's convenient to set up. Also the reverb comes from the fender iron face amp which has some of the nicest amp reverbs around
Doomed Nymph I love the "Iron Face" thing. I had never heard a silver face amp called that but that's what I'm calling them from now on because it sounds way cooler
Her pedalboard has a Way Huge swollen pickle, Digitech polara reverb, Ibanez Tube Screamer, Behringer vintage delay and TC helicon voicelive extreme. I think she also uses a Boss harmonist pitch shifter all through a Fender vibrolux amp.
not anymore, i interviewed her a few weeks ago, she runs a bunch of JHS pedals as well as the pickle now
Wow left-handed! 😱👏
With a right-handed guitar! She's insane!
Where do those harmonies come from?
A harmonizer pedal. It's a pedal that takes the voice input and changes it into a vocal harmony using notes from the guitar playing
i didn't know dennis mckenna liked this kind of music
24:45 sooo adorable lol
this guy is the sean evans of studio interviews
