Description
After a decade making the most of improvised recording spaces set in warehouses, trailers and lofts, Japanese Breakfasts fourth album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), is released on March 21st via Dead Oceans.
Produced by Grammy Award winner Blake Mills an innovator of uncommon subtlety, known for his work with everyone from Bob Dylan to Fiona Apple and quietly regarded as many a legacy artists favorite guitar player and tracked at the venerable Sound City in Los Angeles birthplace of After The Gold Rush, Fleetwood Mac and Nevermind among other classics the record sees front-woman and songwriter Michelle Zauner pull back from the bright extroversion that defined its predecessor Jubilee to examine the darker waves that roil within, the moody, fecund field of melancholy, long held to be the psychic state of poets on the verge of inspiration. The result is an artistic statement of purpose: a mature, intricate, contemplative work that conjures the romantic thrill of a gothic novel.
