The Journey Behind Japanese Breakfast’s Latest Work

Earlier this year, Japanese Breakfast unveiled their album For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women) to critical acclaim. Released in March, the album received high praise for its styling and storytelling qualities, with reviewers hailing it as a “work of art.” The album dives deep into narrative and lyrical focus, marking a distinct evolution from previous works like Jubilee.

“An acrid feeling pervades these artful scenes, like ladies walking through the streets of olde London with oranges under their noses to ward off the stench of plague. Opulence is the perfect playground for Zauner’s spiky sensibilities, an allegorical minefield for the morbidity and bloodiness of our hedonistic modern existences. No one nails that like Japanese Breakfast.”

Michelle Zauner Opens Up About Inspirations

In a heartfelt interview, Michelle Zauner shared the origin of the album’s title, revealing it was inspired by a quote from a John Cheever book. She explained her intent was to create “a very narrative, lyrically focused record” that would stand apart from her previous work.

In April, Japanese Breakfast delivered a hauntingly beautiful performance of “Picture Window” on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The song’s tender and contemplative tone was perfectly captured, with Zauner’s voice echoing the chilling refrain:

“All of my ghosts are real / All of my ghosts are my home.”

Despite a rough patch last year when travel delays prevented her from performing at Worthy Farm, Michelle Zauner is set to take the stage at Glastonbury later this month. Though her set overlaps with other indie acts like Beabadoobee and Fcukers, fans are thrilled to see her live at last.
