For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women) is Japanese Breakfast’s fourth studio album, following the 2021 full-length Jubilee. That same year, Zauner released her video game soundtrack, Sable, and her best-selling memoir, Crying in H Mart, which is being adapted into a movie directed by White Lotus and A Real Pain star Will Sharpe. A few months ago, Zauner also released a song for the Marvel show Agatha All Along.
