Japanese Wallpaper has shared his first new single since 2019 album Glow. ‘Leave A Light On’ is a collaboration, co-written with Alex Lahey and co-produced by Chris Walla of Death Cab For Cutie.
‘Leave A Light On’ has this super euphoric sound to it. It’s a jangly, fun single with stunning production.
On the collab with Walla, Japanese Wallpaper, real name Gab Strum says, “I keep finding myself in the same orbit as a lot of my heroes.”
“And then becoming friends and getting to do all sorts of things together with them. It’s kind of crazy.”
Strum’s collaborated with a bunch of big names. WASHINGTON, Wafia, Cry Club, Allday, Holy Holy, and loads more.
He also just recently teamed up with Alex Lahey and Gordi on ‘On My Way’. It’s a theme song for a new kids film on Netflix The Mitchells Vs. The Machines.
On working with Lahey again, Japanese Wallpaper says, “[Alex] is one of my favourite people. She’s so smart, and it’s always nice to hang out and write stuff.”

Japanese Wallpaper just announced a special Melbourne show too. He’ll be headlining the forum alongside artists like Allday, George Alice, Washington and Airling. With support performances from Gretta Ray, MAY-A and Audition Tape.
Mallrat, Alex Lahey and Denim will DJ the event.
