The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We
Sometimes, Mitski says, it feels like life would be easier without hope, or a soul, or love. But when she closes her eyes and thinks about whatās truly hers, what canāt be repossessed or demolished, she sees love. āThe best thing I ever did in my life was to love people,ā Mitski says. āI wish I could leave behind all the love I have, after I die, so that I can shine all this goodness, all this good love that Iāve created onto other people.ā She hopes her newest album, The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, will continue to shine that love long after sheās gone. Listening to it, thatās precisely how it feels: like a love thatās haunting the land.
Mitski wrote these songs in little bursts over the past few years, and they feel informed by moments of noticing ā noticing a sound thatās out of place, a building that groans in decay, an opinion that splits a room, a feeling that canāt be contained in a body. It was recorded at both the Bomb Shelter in East Nashville and the Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles. The album incorporates an orchestra arranged and conducted by Drew Erickson, as well as a full choir of 17 people - 12 in LA and 5 in Nashville - arranged by Mitski. And for the first time, it felt important to Mitski to have a band recording live together in the studio, to create this new sublime sound. Working with her longtime producer Patrick Hyland, the album has a wide-range of references, from Ennio Morriconeās bombastic Spaghetti Western scores to Carter Burwellās tundra-filling Fargo soundtrack, from the breathy intimacy of Arthur Russell to the strident aliveness of Scott Walker or Igor Stravinsky, from the jubilation of Caetano Veloso to the twangy longing of Faron Young.
