Mitski | Laurel Hell - Cassette Tape
Release date: 04.02.2022
On her sixth studio album, Laurel Hell, Mitski pairs some of her most vulnerable songwriting with bright, synth-driven pop. Written over several years and recorded with longtime producer Patrick Hyland, the album explores love, isolation, identity and the complicated relationship between an artist and the expectations placed upon them.
The polished synth-pop and new-wave textures often sit in sharp contrast to the emotional weight underneath, giving songs like “Working for the Knife”, “The Only Heartbreaker” and “Love Me More” an uneasy balance between melancholy and movement.
At once intimate and danceable, Laurel Hell captures Mitski in transition—turning uncertainty, exhaustion and heartbreak into one of the sleekest and most immediate records in her catalogue
