Mitski has released her eighth studio album, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me, via Dead Oceans.
Introduced with striking singles ‘Where’s My Phone?’ and ‘I’ll Change For You’, within this album Mitski is immersed 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.
Mitski’s most recent video, for the song ‘If I Leave’, directed by Jared Hogan, is at once stunning, unsettling, and darkly funny. Set in a house breathing with menace and history, each room carries its own traces of the lives and eerie moments it once contained. Mitski and members of her band perform within these spooky spaces with calm indifference, their straight forward presence grounding us even as the rooms around them bristle with unease. The house is the true character here; Mitski and her music are the throughline tying its eras and horrors together.
Mitski wrote all of the songs and performed all of the vocals on Nothing’s About to Happen to Me. Produced and engineered by Patrick Hyland and mastered by Bob Weston, the album continues the musical through line established with 2023’s The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, and features live instrumentation by The Land touring band and ensemble arrangements. The orchestra was recorded at Sunset Sound and TTG Studios, arranged and conducted by Drew Erickson, engineered by Michael Harris.
Release: February 27, 2026, Dead Oceans
