Japanese Breakfast have released a new video for
'Winter In LA', taken from their latest album '
For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women)', out now via Dead Oceans.
The video, filmed in South Korea, was directed by Michelle Zauner alongside Peter Ash Lee and produced by SSENSE.
Following their recent Coachella appearance and performance of 'Picture Window' on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the band have announced additional tour dates, including shows at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles and SDSU in San Diego.
'For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women)', produced by Blake Mills at Sound City in Los Angeles, marks a departure from the band's previous work. "I think of melancholy as a kind of anticipatory grief, one that comes from an acknowledgment of the passage of time, from the recognition of mortality and finitude. In some way, too, I think it marks the artist's condition, constantly observing through that lens," Zauner says. "'Nothing thicker than a knife's blade separates happiness from melancholy,' Virginia Woolfe writes. I wanted this album to capture the moments where that knife slips. When people want too much, when they cede to temptation, when they are seduced and punished."
