Indie Pop Band's Fourth Album on Vinyl LP!
Produced by Blake Mills!

TAS Rated 4.5/5 Music, 4/5 Sonics in the July/August 2025 Issue of The Absolute Sound!

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.

a transcendent pop majesty
-Matt Collar, AllMusic, 4.5/5

a stunning, subdued, and intricate work propelled by Michelle Zauner, showcasing the band's evolving and wide-ranging musicality...The arrangements on the album span from shoegaze to chamber pop to quasi-country, but never feel disjointed, and perfectly support the content and tone of each track.
-Jerika Hayes, The Absolute Sound, July/August 2025, Music 4.5/5, Sonics 4/5
