CD Music recording

For melancholy brunettes (& sad women) / Japanese Breakfast.

Japanese Breakfast (Musical group), (composer,, performer.).

Summary:

After a decade making the most of improvised recording spaces set in warehouses, trailers and lofts, Japanese Breakfast's fourth album marks the band's first proper studio release. Produced by Grammy Award winner Blake Mills, the record sees frontwoman 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.
