Japanese Breakfast is back with another taste of what to expect from her forthcoming album ‘For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women)’ (due out on 21st March via Dead Oceans) in the form of heartfelt new cut ‘Mega Circuit’.

It comes in the wake of lead single ‘Orlando In Love’ - which JBrekkie gave a stunning recent airing on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon - and arrives alongside the news that her Spring ‘Melancholy’ tour will now also visit Bristol (UK), Utrecht (Netherlands), and a number of additional North American cities.

Japanese Breakfast: Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness

With her last album ‘Jubilee’, Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner found herself a GRAMMY-nominated artist with a New York bestseller to her name, but no amount of critical acclaim will shift the reality of loss. Now, ten years on from the passing of her mother, her grief is still unfolding, and she’s channelling it into the dark new world of ‘For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women)’.
