A lot has happened since we named Japanese Breakfast’s Jubilee our best album of 2021. Whether those three and a half years have been ones you’ve loved or ones you’ve merely gotten through, you can bet that the band, led by musician and author Michelle Zauner, has some music that can meet your mood, and they’re about ready to share it with us.
This morning, the band announced on Twitter/X that their fourth album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women), will be out on March 21. The first single from the album, “Orlando In Love,” is out now, and you can check it out, as well as the album’s track list, below.
