Mitski's Haunting Presence: A New Chapter Unveiled
In a chilling twist, Mitski's eighth album, "Nothing's About To Happen To Me," has arrived, and she's not alone in this eerie adventure. The latest music video for the track "If I Leave" takes us on a journey through a haunted house, a setting that perfectly captures the album's essence.
Directed by Jared Hogan, the video showcases Mitski and her band in a spine-tingling abode, complete with peeling wallpaper and an air of mystery. Watch as they bring this eerie vision to life below.
"Nothing's About To Happen To Me" marks Mitski's first studio album since 2023's "The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We." Last October, she surprised fans with a live album, a companion to her concert film, "Mitski: The Land." Directed by Grant James, the film featured footage from her 2024 Atlanta shows, accompanied by a talented seven-piece band.
But here's where it gets controversial... Mitski's recent appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" marked her first late-night performance since 2022. She wowed the audience with "I'll Change For You," a powerful moment during Colbert's farewell season. And this is the part most people miss: Mitski is set to embark on an international tour later this year, taking her haunting melodies to North America, Europe, and Asia, with residencies in New York, Los Angeles, and Sydney, Australia.
