In hauntingly eclectic glory, Mitski’s new album takeoff has finally happened.
The indie singer-songwriter’s eighth studio album, “Nothing’s About to Happen to Me,” released Feb. 27, just shy of three years after her resounding 2023 release “The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We.” Juggling 11 genre-defying songs, the album breaks new sonic ground in the vein of Mitski’s previous folk-leaning musical shift, effortlessly melding her earlier heart-wrenching rock anthems with the sweeping orchestral waves of “The Land.” An album unafraid of flaunting its odd contrasts, “Nothing’s About to Happen to Me” is Mitski at her wildest, with a delirious yet adept handling of mismatched musical moods that only intensifies her poignant lyricism.
