Japanese Breakfast Singer Michelle Zauner on Her ‘Theatrical’ Coachella Set and Why She Can’t Let Anyone Else Direct Her Music Videos
Japanese Breakfast's Michelle Zauner talks artistic integrity, working with Korean artists and teases the band's upcoming Coachella set.
That’s why, not willing to sacrifice her creative standards, Zauner declined her label’s request to create short visual clips for “Mega Circuit” — the second single for the group’s fourth and most recent full-length effort, “For Melancholy Brunettes (and Sad Women)” — instead of a traditional music video. But in the last couple of years, we’ve done sessions and things in really nice studios, and I began to hear the difference in fidelity of what a room that’s equipped with certain gear and a space that’s been designed for recording brings to the table. There’s a song called “Leda” on the record, which is a reference to a very violent story about, basically, the Almighty God of that universe transforming into a swan to rape a woman.
