Japanese Breakfast - For Melancholy Brunettes [Limited Edition Frosted Shadow Vinyl LP]

After a decade making the most of improvised recording spaces
set in warehouses, trailers and lofts, Japanese Breakfast’s fourth
album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), marks the band’s
first proper studio release. Produced by Grammy Award winner
Blake Mills, the record sees front-woman and songwriter Michelle
Zauner pull back from the bright extroversion that defined its
predecessor Jubilee to examine the darker waves that roil within,
the moody, fecund field of melancholy, long held to be the psychic
state of poets on the verge of inspiration. The result is an artistic
statement of purpose: a mature, intricate, contemplative work that
conjures the romantic thrill of a gothic novel.
