This week we’re highlighting new music from Mitski, Nas, and Alan Palomo.
Mitski – The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We
The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We marks a significant shift in Mitski’s musical trajectory as this album deviates from Mitski’s previous synth-pop and disco-driven works, embodying a more stripped-down and acoustic approach that accentuates her vocals and songwriting. Diverging into folk, rock, and country elements, this musical departure has been celebrated for its emotional sincerity and lyrical candor. Produced by Patrick Hyland, the album is her seventh overall and was released via Dead Oceans. The recording process took place at the Bomb Shelter studio in Nashville and Sunset Sound in Los Angeles.
