Japanese Breakfast have shared shared a video for Orlando In Love.
The track was shared a week ago as the first preview of the Philadelphia band's new album, 'For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women)', which is due for release on March 21. Primary songwriter and vocalist-guitarist Michelle Zauner directed the song's clip herself, with cinematography by Peter Ash Lee. Zauner said:
“‘Orlando in Love’ is made up of a hodgepodge of odd references. The title comes from an epic poem by Matteo Maria Boiardo called Orlando Innamorato, which ends abruptly at 68.5 cantos because Italy was invaded by French troops, and that’s as far as he got before he had to flee. I fell in love with the title and envisioned a sort of whimsical, foolish male protagonist who lives by the sea in a Winneabeago RV and is seduced by a siren. After writing it, it felt like the perfect thesis statement for an album that is largely about people, often men, who find themselves seduced by temptation and are duly punished for it.
“Somewhere along the way I came across Eduard von Grützner’s painting ‘The Connoisseur’ and I started to picture Orlando as a daydreaming friar who can’t help but tipple of the Abbey’s brews. He dreams of his siren and despite the dream’s foreboding imagery, decides he must run and find her. The siren is played by my dear friend Jungle, whom I spent most of my time with in Korea this year. The friars are played by Missy Dabice from Mannequin Pussy, making her return to the Jbrekkie Cinecanon, and Molly Germer. We filmed half of the video in Korea with Peter Ash Lee, who shot the cover of Jubilee, and half of it at my alma mater, Bryn Mawr College, with my longtime collaborator and DP, Adam Kolodny.”
Japanese Breakfast will support the new record with The Melancholy Tour, which will include a set at Coachella in California in April, then the North American leg will follow in the spring, with UK and European dates taking place in the summer, before returning to North America for shows in late August and early September.
