Japanese Breakfast’s fourth studio album ‘For Melancholy Brunettes (and Sad Women)’ is out now.
For years, many Japanese Breakfast fans were only familiar with the band’s music fronted by singer Michelle Zauner, and in 2021, Zauner invited readers in to her most personal moments in her New York Times bestselling memoir Crying in H Mart, released just a few weeks before Japanese Breakfast’s third album Jubilee. With those two experiences now in the rearview mirror, Zauner has been able to spend the last few years focusing again on music, culminating in the new Japanese Breakfast album For Melancholy Brunettes (and Sad Women), out today.
While Jubilee struck a more uplifting tone compared to past albums, For Melancholy Brunettes returns to some of the band’s moodier origins.
