Mitski's Eerie New Video Sends Shivers Down Your Spine
Mitski's latest album is a haunting masterpiece, and the video for 'If I Leave' is a chilling visual treat. The artist has unveiled a captivating music video, leaving fans spellbound. Directed by Jared Hogan, the video showcases Mitski's enigmatic presence in a creepy house, complete with peeling wallpaper, setting the perfect atmosphere for her eighth album, 'Nothing's About To Happen To Me'.
But here's where it gets intriguing: this album marks Mitski's return after a three-year hiatus. Her previous studio album, 'The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We', released in 2023, was followed by a surprise live album in 2025, accompanying her concert film, 'Mitski: The Land'. The film, directed by Grant James, captured the raw energy of her live performances at Atlanta's Fox Theatre, backed by a seven-piece band.
And Mitski doesn't stop there! She recently made a comeback on late-night TV, performing 'I'll Change For You' on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert's farewell season. As if that weren't enough, she's also gearing up for an international tour, covering North America, Europe, and Asia, with residencies in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Sydney. Talk about a busy schedule!
Hattie Lindert, the associate staff writer at Pitchfork, has an impressive resume, having written for renowned publications like Rolling Stone and The A.V. Club. Based in New York, Lindert's roots are in Vermont, adding a touch of small-town charm to her big-city writing.
