Watch Fred again.. and The Japanese House Take Over London Pub for Secret Set
Imagine walking into your local pub to grab a pint, but instead of encountering the grizzled bartender who consoles (and overserves) you after every breakup, you see Fred again.. tickling the keys.
Just a few short weeks after performing at Glastonbury, the chart-topping electronic music superstar played the role of busker after showing up to a British pub to perform a secretive set alongside The Japanese House. The intimate performance went down on July 12th at The Rising Sun, a pub in the heart of Brixton's Pensford village, which had beforehand announced that it was "closed for a private event."
The Japanese House, the nom de plume of celebrated indie artist Amber Bain, is renowned for her androgynous dream-pop sound. Her aching voice proved the perfect match for the tender keyboard work of Fred, with whom she performed remixed renditions of her tracks "Sunshine Baby" and "Chewing Cotton Wool," among other unreleased songs.
"Amber's voice is so magical I couldn’t stop smiling," he later wrote in an Instagram Story.
