详细介绍:
In 2018, singer-songwriter Mitski (Miyawaki) released the much-acclaimed Be the Cowboy. Just over a year later, she announced that she was taking a break—from touring, from social media; in other words, from the public eye. I sense that if I don%27t step away soon, my self-worth/identity will start depending too much on staying in the game, in the constant churn. I don%27t want to make art like that, she tweeted. Now, you can hear exactly what she was wrestling with—and how—on her seventh studio album, Laurel Hell. The lyrically devastating Working for the Knife is an up-close self-examination of one%27s creative reality and dashed dreams: I cry at the start of every movie I guess/ ’cause I wish I was making things too/ But I’m working for the knife. It would be too flip to call it the sound of a quarter-life crisis; it%27s more the realization that successful art is a commodity, complete with horns mocking your pain. At once strident and dreamy, it brings to mind Tori Amos. Stay Soft is the natural follow-up to how you deal with the vagaries of the world. You stay soft, get beaten/ Only natural to harden up, Mitski sings against a chill dancefloor track. Like much of the record, it is delightfully %2780s-inflected, vibrating with appealingly plasticky synth and crisp percussion. So are The Only Heartbreaker, which sounds like the soundtrack for a movie nightclub scene from that era, and Love Me More—a slow burn that builds to a frenzy of Mitski chanting clean me up, clean me up. Should%27ve Been Me is Top 40 joyous in the vein of a Phil Collins song—all jangling melody, wild blares and finger-snap-style percussion. It could be read as an apology for checking out: I haven’t given you what you need/ You wanted me but couldn’t reach me/ I’m sorry, it should’ve been me. Hymn-like I Guess is about the end of a relationship, but the song%27s so dreamy and malleable that it could be romantic or platonic love, about another person or a once-passionate goal. That%27s Our Lamp is more clear. As the narrator leaves home after a fight with her partner, she sees things, literally, from the outside and reaches the realization that you can love someone without liking them—a conclusion that triggers a swell of street and crowd sounds to momentarily drown out the pain. WIth the longest song clocking in at just 3:47, these are perfect little portals to remind you that singular ache and longing can be remarkably universal.
