For Melancholy Brunettes (and Sad Women) is the upcoming fourth studio album by American indie pop band Japanese Breakfast.
It is scheduled to be released on March 21, 2025, by the Dead Oceans label, more than three years after their previous studio album Jubilee (2021).
The songs, by lead singer Michelle Zauner, are said to return to darker, "gothic-gloomy" melancholy inspired by the "psychic state of poets on the verge of inspiration".
[6] That same day, Zauner released the lead single, "Orlando in Love", which deals with "desire and its perils".
[8] The band aims to tour North America in support of For Melancholy Brunettes (and Sad Women) from April to September 2025.
