Japanese Breakfast delivers new single 'Savage Good Boy'

With her highly-anticipated new album dropping in just a few weeks, Japanese Breakfast has now unveiled the next cut to be lifted from her forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Savage Good Boy' comes accompanied by a brilliant new video, directed by Japanese Breakfast herself and starring The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli, and follows on from the previously shared tracks 'Posing in Bondage' and 'Be Sweet' in previewing her new LP 'Jubilee', which is out on the 4th June via Dead Oceans.

Speaking about the new offering, she said, "'Savage Good Boy' came from a headline I read about billionaires buying bunkers. I was interested in examining that specific type of villainy, and I found myself adopting the perspective of a rich man coaxing a young woman to come live with him underground, attempting to rationalize his almost impossible share of greed and miserliness.

"I knew I wanted the music video to be a pretty literal interpretation of that idea. I wanted to juxtapose images of this post-apocalyptic, industrial bunker with the lightness and extravagance of rococo fashion and set design. Aiming for that balance, my cinematographer, Adam Kolodny, and I were really inspired by Chan Wook Park's The Handmaiden, Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon and Sally Potter's Orlando."
