“The best songwriter of her generation.” — The Guardian *****

“As a songwriter, Mitski harnesses resignation like no one else . . . But her most powerful moments often come when she lets us accompany her far past her breaking point." 
— Pitchfork

“[Mitski] continues to blaze her own curious and captivating trail.” — Record Collector ****

“Nothing’s About to Happen to Me is a gutsy new record that returns to her roots with guitar-forward songs that center her candid lyrics.” — Bandcamp

Mitski releases her eighth studio album, Nothing's About to Happen to Me, today via Dead Oceans, and the video for album standout, “If I Leave.” Following “I’ll Change For You,” her “bossa nova-infused tune of desperation” (The Needle Drop), Mitski now presents a tale of conflict and reluctance with “If I Leave.” Displaying her “peerless ability to sound refined and overwhelmed all at once,” (Stereogum) she sings: “If I leave // Somebody else will find you // But nobody else could see me // Quite as clearly as you.”

[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]


Mitski announces her eighth studio album, Nothing's About to Happen to Me — out February 27th via Dead Oceans — and releases its lead single/video, “Where’s My Phone?” Supported by a live band and orchestra, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me finds Mitski immersing herself in a rich narrative whose main character is a reclusive woman in an unkempt house. Outside of her home, she is a deviant; inside of her home, she is free.
