{"product_id":"4526180769859","title":"Japanese breakfast FOR MELANCHOLY BRUNETTES (\u0026 SAD WOMEN) Japan Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003cbr\u003e\nContents Format: CD Specifications: Jewel Case Four years after their previous album, which was nominated for two Grammy Awards, including all four major categories, Japanese Breakfast has completed their new album. Their fourth album, \"For Melancholy Brunettes (\u0026amp; sad women),\" produced by Blake Mills, is now on sale. After a decade of making full use of improvisational recording spaces such as warehouses, trailers, and lofts, Japanese Breakfast's fourth album, \"For Melancholy Brunettes (\u0026amp; sad women),\" which is their first album recorded in a proper studio, will be released on March 21st by Dead Oceans. Produced by Grammy Award winner Blake Mills (known for his work with artists ranging from Bob Dylan to Fiona Apple, and considered a favorite guitarist of many legacy artists, a remarkably sensitive innovator), and tracked in Los Angeles' historic Sound City (the birthplace of \"After the Gold Rush,\" \"Fleetwood Mac,\" and \"Nevermind\"), frontwoman and songwriter Michelle Zauner moves away from the bright extroversion that characterized her previous album, \"Jubilee,\" to explore the dark waves swirling within?a field of sullen and fertile melancholy long believed to be the psychological state of poets on the brink of inspiration. The result is an artistic statement: a mature, complex, and meditative work that evokes the romantic thrills of a Gothic novel. With her Grammy-nominated breakthrough album 'Jubilee' and bestselling memoir 'Crying In H Mart', Zauner burst onto the cultural mainstream and realized her deep artistic ambitions, and 'For Melancholy Brunettes (\u0026amp; sad women)' chronicles that transformative period in her life. Reflecting on her success, Zauner has come to understand the irony of desire, which often links bliss and ruin. \"I always felt tempted to get what I wanted. I realized I was too close to the sun, and that I would die if I stayed there,\" she says. While Zauner explored science fiction in 'Soft Sounds from Another Planet' and lighthearted surrealism in 'Jubilee', the dense structure of 'For Melancholy Brunettes (\u0026amp; sad women)', with its European Romantic landscapes and subtle classical references, opens up new territory for a songwriter entering artistic maturity. She says she drew inspiration from a variety of predecessors. The melancholic caf? girl in Degas's \"L'absinthe,\" Caspar David Friedrich's seascapes, Wuthering Heights' passionate longing and rugged wilderness, and Hans Castorp wrapped in a camel blanket dreaming on the balcony of the Berghof?these atmospheres are felt in the intricately interwoven guitar arrangements that permeate much of this album. Sadness is the dominant emotion of this record, but it is a subtle form of sadness. It is a contemplative, precognitive melancholy that acknowledges the inherently tragic nature of life while simultaneously being sensitive to its fleeting beauty. Zauner finds ample space within it for a ray of hope?the human solace that poets before her called for, and that poets after her will continue to rediscover. It is love and labor, a tonic that permeates many of the episodes on this record. Japanese Breakfast is a music project by Michelle Zauner, originally from Philadelphia, USA. After releasing two albums as the frontwoman of the indie rock band Little Big League, Zauner started Japanese Breakfast. In 2016, she released her debut album, \"Psychopomp,\" and gained popularity by opening for tours by artists such as Slowdive and Mitski. In 2017, she released her second album, \"Soft Sounds from Another Planet,\" which was well-received, receiving an 8.0\/10 rating from Pitchfork, and the following year, 2018, she performed at Coachella and Bonnaroo. In June 2021, she released her third album, \"Jubilee,\" which was critically acclaimed and topped the list of best albums of the year. It was nominated for two Grammy Awards (Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album), including all four major categories, and she also performed at Fuji Rock Festival '22 to great acclaim. Furthermore, Zauner was named one of the most influential people of 2022 in TIME magazine's annual \"Time 100\" list at the beginning of 2022, and her critically acclaimed memoir, \"Crying In H Mart,\" remained on the New York Times bestseller list for 51 weeks.
