Mitski - Nothing's About to Happen to Me - Album Artwork by Marc Burkhardt
Mitski: Nothing’s About to Happen to Me [Dead Oceans]
Despite her real-life aversion to the spotlight, Mitski fearlessly embodies characters in her music. Nothing’s About to Happen to Me sees her delve into the psyche of a reclusive woman confined within a disheveled home, free to embrace her chaotic self. This eighth album blends anxiety pop with indie-rock sensibilities, featuring live instrumentation from her The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We touring band. Standout tracks include "Where’s My Phone" and "I’ll Change for You."
