Japanese Breakfast has shared a new single, ‘Mega Circuit’. It’s the second offering from the forthcoming LP For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), following ‘Orlando in Love’, one of our favorite songs of January. It’s rootsier in an eerie, captivating way. Its accompanying video was made by bandleader Michelle Zauner and Adam Kolodny; check it out below.
“‘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. 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) lands on March 21 via Dead Oceans.
