Japanese Breakfast, the musical project of multi-hyphenate Michelle Zauner, releases a self-directed video for their new single "Savage Good Boy," starring Michael Imperioli of The Sopranos.

The track was unveiled via Beats1’s Zane Lowe as a New Music Daily this morning and its video was profiled by Vogue, who are calling it a "fashion-maximalist new video."

"'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," says Zauner.  "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."

Japanese Breakfast has also expanded their summer and fall tours, which kick off July 28th in Asbury Park, NJ. All dates below.

Jubilee, Japanese Breakfast's anticipated new album is available for pre-order now and due June 4th via Dead Oceans.

Zauner's critically acclaimed New York Times Best Selling memoir Crying In H Mart is available now via Knopf.
