Mitski is set to release her eighth studio album next month.
'Nothing's About To Happen To Me' will arrive through Dead Oceans on February 27 and finds the Brooklyn-based artist reuniting with her longtime collaborator, producer and engineer Patrick Hyland, with mastering handled by Bob Weston.
The album was written entirely by Mitski, with instrumentation by The Land touring band, and ensemble and symphony arrangements recorded at Sunset Sound and TTG Studios, conducted by Drew Erickson and engineered by Michael Harris.
The concept of the record centres around a reclusive character living in a neglected house, inside of which she is free, but outside she is seen as a deviant.
As a preview, the singer-songwriter has shared the fuzzed-up, rock-leaning first single, Where's My Phone?. It comes with a video directed by Noel Paul and inspired by Shirley Jackson's novel We Have Always Lived In The Castle, featuring Mitski as a paranoid woman in a gothic house.
Mitski's latest album is 2023's 'The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We'. Since then, she's racked up co-writing credits on Florence + The Machine's new album 'Everybody Scream' and Son Lux's Oscar-nominated song This Is A Life alongside David Byrne, and is currently penning music and lyrics for the musical adaptation of The Queen's Gambit.
Her first concert film, Mitski: The Land, screened in cinemas internationally last October, alongside the release of 'The Land: The Live Album', both of which capture performances from three nights in Atlanta in September 2024 during her tour supporting 'The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We'. The live album was available exclusively via Bandcamp, but has since been removed.
