Laurel Hell

Mitski

Polished 80s-inspired synths meet the crushing weight of public expectation. A danceable yet deeply isolated record about the labor of being seen.

A polished, synthetic exterior masking a core of profound existential weariness and quiet resilience.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden explosion of glam-rock piano and shimmering synths halfway through Valentine, Texas.
The relentless, driving New Wave urgency of The Only Heartbreaker that feels like running toward a cliff.
The way the beat in Everyone feels like a cold, mechanical heart ticking in an empty room.
