Japanese Breakfast began 4-show Brooklyn Paramount run (pics, video, setlist)

Japanese Breakfast are on the road now supporting their new album For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), and on Friday they arrived in NYC for to begin a four-show residency at Brooklyn Paramount. After bringing the stripped back “The Melancholy Recital” to East Harlem’s El Museo del Barrio in March, this has been the full-fledged affair, sumptously staged and with a giant shell for Michelle Zauner to perform from for part of the show. Their setlists for these shows have focused mostly on her new material, but they’ve also played some older songs, and on two nights they brought out the tour’s opener, Ginger Root, for Psychopomp‘s “Everybody Wants to Love You” on Sunday night, and to reprise their Coachella cover of Gorillaz’ “On Melancholy Hill” on Saturday night (5/10). See pictures from night one by Emilio Herce, and attendee-taken video and the setlists for nights one through three, below. Japanese Breakfast’s NYC run wraps up tonight (5/12) at Brooklyn Paramount, and their tour continues into the fall, currently closing out with both weekends of ACL Festival.
