Mitski Announces New Album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, Shares Lead Single: Stream

The post Mitski Announces New Album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, Shares Lead Single: Stream appeared first on Consequence.

Days after she teased the news in a voice memo sent to fans, Mitski has officially announced that her seventh studio album, The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, will be out September 15th via Dead Oceans. As a preview, she’s shared its lead single “Bug Like an Angel.”

The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, which Mitski describes in a press release as her “most American album,” pulls from a vast pool of influences, including spaghetti western soundtracks, Arthur Russell, Igor Stravinsky, and more. To help flesh it out, she employed a full orchestra and a 17-person choir, working again with her longtime producer Patrick Hyland.

“The best thing I ever did in my life was to love people,” Mitski adds of the album’s themes. “I wish I could leave behind all the love I have, after I die, so that I can shine all this goodness, all this good love that I’ve created onto other people.” Pre-orders for the record are ongoing.

If “Bug Like an Angel” is any indication, The Land Is Inhospitable might be some of Mitski’s most daring and ambitious work to date. It’s a gentle acoustic number that feels at once intimate and massive, her soft vocals backed by a gospel choir.

Mitski’s last album was  2022’s Laurel Hell. Since then, she’s teamed up with David Byrne for “This is a Life,” their contribution to the soundtrack for Everything Everywhere All at Once. It was nominated for Best Original Song at that year’s Oscars.
