Mitski’s unmatched introspection, creative brilliance, and ability to flow seamlessly between genres have led her to major stages around the world and earned her a permanent spot on millions of playlists. She embeds a sort of songwriting magic into each and every one of her pieces, marking each as its own distinct story that pieces together perfectly. Now, following her bossa nova-infused single “I’ll Change For You,” Mitski’s eighth studio album has officially arrived via Dead Oceans in conjunction with a hauntingly stunning music video for “If I Leave.”
If I Leave
Mitski’s carefully crafted “If I Leave” lives in a melancholy yet driving chamber that builds to explosive rock catharsis. Then, it returns to lulling softness to end the piece. The introspective lyrics tell the story of a fractured sense of self and replaceability in a relationship. It is prevalent from its opening, “If I leave / Somebody else will love you / But nobody else could forgive me / Quite as often as you,” to its ending, “Who could love me / Quite as kindly as you?”
Directed by Jared Hogan, the music video takes place in an old, seemingly abandoned house where each room is reminiscent of the lives and stories it once held. Its unsettling nature reflects the unease that creeps below the feeling of being replaceable.
Nothing’s About To Happen To Me
Nothing’s About To Happen To Me is another masterful collection of Mitski’s prolific songwriting and artistry. The previously released “Where’s My Phone?” and “I’ll Change For You” join nine new novel tracks. Find it here!
The album continues the trajectory established with 2023’s The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We. Mitski wrote and recorded all of the vocals while live instrumentation was provided by The Land touring band and ensemble arrangements. The ensemble was recorded at Sunset Sound and TGG Studios, arranged and conducted by Drew Erickson, and engineered by Michael Harris. The album itself was produced and engineered by Patrick Hyland and mastered by Bob Weston.
Tour & Tansy House Exhibit
Alongside several other tour dates (found below), Mitski is preparing to present Nothing’s About To Happen To Me in select cities around the world. She will spend six nights at The Shed in New York City, five at Hollywood High School in Los Angeles, and four at the Sydney Opera House.
