Japanese Wallpaper is the project of Gabriel Strum, a Melbourne singer-songwriter and producer who makes indie pop that glows like a city at dusk: soft synths, gentle beats and a voice that never raises itself above a hush. He started with "Breathe In", a single with Wafia released on 10 October 2013, which landed in Zach Braff's film Wish I Was Here.
His self-titled 2015 release carries two collaborations. "Between Friends", with Jesse Davidson, is all slow-motion shimmer, and "Forces", made with Airling, drifts along with its heart in its throat. Along with "In Motion", made with Allday, they gave him three songs in Triple J's Hottest 100. His debut album proper, Glow, followed on 18 October 2019.
