Japanese Breakfast Shares ‘Mega Circuit’ Single & Additional 2025 Tour Dates

Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner shared the second single, “Mega Circuit,” from the forthcoming album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), arriving March 21 via Dead Oceans. The band also added tour dates to their North American trek.

Japanese Breakfast announced the Blake Mills-produced For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women) in January and shared the single “Orlando In Love,” which the band also performed on The Tonight Show. Michelle Zauner now follows with “Mega Circuit,” which sees contributions from legendary drummer Jim Keltner.

“‘Mega Circuit’ was one of the first songs I wrote, intent on making a creepier, more guitar-driven record,” Zauner stated. “The song is sort of an examination of contemporary masculinity and explores a conflicted desire to embrace a generation that, in the absence of positive role models, has found refuge in violence and bigotry. We had the legendary Jim Keltner — who’s played on everything from ‘These Days’ to ‘Here You Come Again’ to ‘Dream Weaver’—come in and play the fiercest shuffle you’ve ever heard.”

Zauner is bringing Japanese Breakfast on the road in North America and Europe across spring and summer, kicking off with a performance at Coachella in April. Along with new dates in Bristol (UK) and Utrecht (Netherlands) in July, Japanese Breakfast now has two new dates in Seattle on September 2 and 3.

The band will also come to Madison, Wisconsin, on September 10. A fourth night at the Brooklyn Paramount has also been added on May 12. Tickets for the new dates go on sale Friday, February 14, at 10 a.m. local.
