Japanese Breakfast is back with another new music video. The latest single from Jubilee is “Savage Good Boy.” Michelle Zauner stars in the self-directed video with Michael Imperioli of Sopranos fame. Watch the video below. Zauner described the song and its video in a statement:

“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.

Zauner recently appeared on The Daily Show to discuss Jubilee and her hit memoir Crying in H-Mart. The album—out June 4—features the previously shared singles “Posing in Bondage” and “Be Sweet.”
