Japanese Breakfast previews new album with second single "Posing in Bondage"

After announcing Jubilee with lead cut "Be Sweet" last month, Japanese Breakfast, aka Michelle Zauner, has returned with the album's second single "Posing in Bondage".

Zauner says of the new track, ""Posing in Bondage" is a ballad about loneliness and longing, a song about two people who want so badly to connect but are never quite able to do so. No place felt lonelier than an empty grocery at 1 AM. The video is actually an epilogue to the one that will accompany our next single, here presented out of order."

The accompanying video, directed by Zauner, also stars Girlpool's Harmony Tividad.

"Posing in Bondage" was originally debuted in 2017 as part of Polyvinyl's 4-Track Singles Series Vol. 3 alongside another song called "2042".

Jubilee will follow 2017's Soft Sounds From Another Planet album, and in the years leading up to Jubilee, Zauner studied piano and music theory to improve her songwriting. She says, "I’ve never wanted to rest on any laurels. I wanted to push it as far as it could go, inviting more people in and pushing myself as a composer, a producer, an arranger."
