Japanese Breakfast shares "Road Head" video, expands tour

July 6, 2017

Japanese Breakfast‘s Dead Oceans debut Soft Sounds From Another Planet comes out next week (7/14), and she just put out another single to tide us over. This one’s called “Road Head” and it comes with a video starring and directed by main JB member Michelle Zauner. Compared to JB’s earlier dream pop material, this one is less dream and more pop, but there’s still a nice amount of weirdness in there (and the video is delightfully weird too). Watch/listen below.

Japanese Breakfast is on tour now, providing direct support to (Sandy) Alex G, and that tour hits NYC for sold-out shows at Music Hall of Williamsburg tonight (7/6) and Bowery Ballroom on Friday (7/7). After that, JB plays the free daytime Summer Thunder series at Union Pool on July 15 with Yohuna (2 PM start).

Japanese Breakfast has also added a headlining tour for late summer and fall with support from indie-punks Mannequin Pussy and lo-fi eccentrics Spirit of the Beehive. That run hits Music Hall of Williamsburg on October 12. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (7/7) at 10 AM. Updated dates are listed below.
