LP - Mitski – The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We

1 LP - indie blue vinyl

 Sometimes, Mitski says, it feels like life would be easier without hope, or a soul, or love. But when she closes her eyes and thinks about what’s truly hers, what can't be repossessed or demolished, she sees love.

She hopes her seventh album, "The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We", will continue to shine that love long after she’s gone. In this album, which is sonically Mitski's most expansive, epic, and wise, the songs seem to be introducing wounds and then actively healing them. Here, love is time - traveling to bless our tender days, like the light from a distant star.

The album is full of the ache of the grown-up, seemingly mundane heartbreaks and joys that are often unsung but feel enormous. It's a tiny epic. From the bottom of a glass, to a driveway slushy with memory and snow, to a freight train barreling through the Midwest, and all the way to the moon, it feels like everything, and everyone, is crying out, screaming in pain, arching towards love.
