Japanese Breakfast recently shared a new single, "Mega Circuit," from her forthcoming album For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women).
The single arrives with a music video that Michelle Zauner created with frequent collaborator Adam Kolodny.
"Mega Circuit" was "one of the first songs I wrote, intent on making a creepier, more guitar driven record," Zauner explained in a statement. "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."
She continued, "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."
For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women) is due out March 21 via Dead Oceans. It marks Japanese Breakfast's follow-up to the 2021 LP Jubilee.
