According to thefader.com, artist Mitski has shared two singles from her upcoming album The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We. Together, “Star” and “Heaven” are a pair of celestial twins that expanding from a modest beginning to higher peaks.
For example, “Star” takes a fairly stock metaphor called “Love is like a star” and guides it to its tragic and inevitable conclusion over a never ending organ drone. Also the lovely vocals and instrumentation on “Star” contributes to the magic that can be felt on the theme of both compositions.
Whereas “Heaven” is a country ballad that fills the air with wonderful sound before being taken away by a beautiful orchestral breakdown, trilling flute playing and other magical instrumentation.
Also Mitski has announced the Amateur Mistake Tour, which is a brief run of intimate and acoustic performances across the U.K. and the rest of Europe this October.
