Japanese Breakfast Releases New Single "Mega Circuit"
Japanese Breakfast has released “Mega Circuit” as the second single from her upcoming album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women). The song release is also paired with a music video directed by frontwoman Michelle Zauner and Adam Kolodny. “‘Mega Circuit”’ was one of the first songs I wrote, intent on making a creepier, more guitar driven record,” Zauner explains. “The song is sort of an examination of contemporary masculinity, and explores a conflicted desire to embrace a generation that in the absence of positive role models has found refuge in violence and bigotry. We had the legendary Jim Keltner — who’s played on everything from “‘These Days,”’ to “‘Here You Come Again”’ to “‘Dream Weaver"’ — come in and play the fiercest shuffle you’ve ever heard.”Earlier this year, Zauner released the album’s first single “Orlando in Love,” which the band performed on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. For Melancholy Brunettes ( & sad women) follows the rapidly transformative period of Zauner’s life immediately following Crying in H-Mart’s commercial success and her GRAMMY nominated album, Jubilee, both of which launched Japanese Breakfast into the mainstream. Japanese Breakfast’s tour for the album will kick off this year with a Coachella performance and continue with headline shows across North America, Europe, and an additional date in Bristol, UK. The full album will be released on March 21 on Dead Oceans.Read more at Hypebeast
