Breakfast is the most important meal of the day—Japanese Breakfast, even more so.
Little Big League frontwoman Michelle Zauner recently debuted her solo project with Psychopomp, a 25-minute slice of dynamic, deeply felt and all-around excellent noise pop. The ethereal album is dedicated to the memory of Zauner’s late mother. Zauner has now released the occult-inspired video for Psychopomp highlight “Jane Cum,” which she describes as “definitely the most dramatic song on the record.”
The hypnotic new visual was directed by Adam Kolodny and House of Nod Productions, who were also the production team behind Japanese Breakfast’s “In Heaven” video. Zauner explained how the “Jane Cum” video concept came together in an interview with Rookie Mag:
After the “In Heaven” video, I knew I wanted to work with Adam again. We wanted to do a really dark, witchy video. So we both made moodboards for it, and they were just perfectly aligned. I knew that I wanted to have really dark shots, where the background was pure black, with lighting from headlights. I wanted to reference the ’90s movie The Craft. Then Adam brought in this True Detective daytime vibe. He was also the one who created the narrative with the artifacts. We went to Freehold, New Jersey, and filmed it in his parents’ backyard. We drove around in this vintage Volvo, filming with a car camera and a drone.
