The indie pop group led by Michelle Zauner played a special live unplugged version of their new album ‘For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women).’
Japanese Breakfast, the acclaimed indie pop group led by singer-songwriter Michelle Zauner, did something out of the ordinary this week to promote their record For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), which came out on Friday: they announced an impromptu special show at New York City’s El Museo del Barrio that would consist of mostly unplugged versions of the new album’s songs and old favorites.
“Unlike the boisterous Jubilee,” Zauner wrote in the concert’s playbill, referring to the group’s last album from 2021, “For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women) is quite delicate. It is our first album, I think, that has the ability to hold its own in a stripped down format as well as in its full production.
