Live Nation presents The Melancholy Tour, the first ever JAPANESE BREAKFAST tour to Aotearoa New Zealand, in support of their fourth studio album For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women). Japanese Breakfast comes to Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland on Saturday June 7 and is the first announcement of the Auckland Winter Series line up.
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 out on March 21st. 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.
