It's also the first time she's co-written a song, with Dan Wilson of Semisonic and Adele co-writer fame Edited November 10, 20213 yr by dhwhore
November 11, 20213 yr Totally agree, it's amazing and a wonderful comeback. Really excited for this album.
December 7, 20213 yr Heat Lightning is out now too. 3/3 for me, can already tell it'll be one of my favourite albums of next year. The Only Heartbreaker is absolute perfection
December 29, 20213 yr It's official: A new Mitski album is coming soon. The singer-songwriter's sixth record, titled “Laurel Hell,” is set to release on Feb. 4 via Dead Oceans. The album will be Mitski's first full-length release since 2018's “Be the Cowboy,” which found itself at the top of many end-of-year best album lists. The album was preceded by the lead single "Working for the Knife", and announced alongside the release of the second single "The Only Heartbreaker". A third track "Heat Lightning" followed in December. any Mitski fans? Working for the Knife HYbXt4_r9Pw The Only Heartbreaker LmXFF_whkVk Heat Lightning gvIkcN5YMH4
January 12, 20223 yr It’s going to take a lot to beat this as my album of the year (despite having not heard half of it yet :’)) Love Me More might just be my favourite yet 😭 incredible
February 2, 20223 yr a 7.8 review from Pitchfork: https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/mitski-laurel-hell/
February 9, 20223 yr Has anyone given this a listen? I had to on the strength of the pre-release songs (especially 'The Only Heartbreaker' - the obsession is real with that one) and really enjoyed it! Love her voice, the dark 80s gothic-type synth style and of course, the gut-punch lyrics. Immediately rockets up to early AOTY contender :heart: I think 'There's Nothing Left for You' is my favourite of the album tracks right now, that build-up had me under a spell
February 9, 20223 yr Author haven't yet even though I made the thread, still trying to catch up with pretty much all of 2021 music-wise lmao. but I'm fully prepared to love it as per. also cannot believe she is supporting harry styles on his tour !!
February 9, 20223 yr Haven't listened yet as my pre-order hasn't arrived so far. VMP are so annoying for that, my Bonobo pre-order with them has only just shipped now as well and that's been out for weeks
February 21, 20223 yr I've listened and while there is nothing else that reaches the amazing highs of 'The Only Heartbreaker' and 'Love Me More', it's a nice listen. The album came to life a fair bit more in the second half!
February 22, 20223 yr ^I've heard that from a lot of people and some say it's better to listen to the album starting from track 6 so do 6-11 then 1-5
February 22, 20223 yr I agree that the second half is the better side but the whole thing is pretty great, definitely going to be one of my most listened to albums this year
February 25, 20223 yr I've listened and while there is nothing else that reaches the amazing highs of 'The Only Heartbreaker' and 'Love Me More', it's a nice listen. The album came to life a fair bit more in the second half! Pretty much totally agreed with this actually. 'The Only Heartbreaker' is by far the best song on here and 'Love Me More' is great too but there are a good handful of other solid tracks most of which are in the second half (although I like 'Valentine, Texas' a lot as well). 'Should've Been Me' was my fave of the album tracks I think! I remembered not really caring much for 'Working For The Knife' on first listen and thought it might sound better now after enjoying the other singles a lot more but it's still not really doing it for me. At least that validates my original opinion. x
