Pop songs are meant to distract us with reductive parables of love and fame, heroism and villainy. But occasionally, an artist proves the form more malleable and capacious than we knew. With Laurel Hell, Mitski cements her reputation as an artist in possession of such power — capable of using her talent to perform the alchemy that turns our most savage and alienated experiences into the very elixir that cures them. “I wrote what I needed to hear,” Mitski explains. “As I’ve always done.”
　　Her critically beloved last album, Be the Cowboy, built on the breakout acclaim of 2016’s Puberty 2 and launched her from cult favorite to indie star. She ascended amid a fever of national division, and the grind of touring and pitfalls of increased visibility influenced her music as much as her spirit. As she sings in “Working for the Knife,” a song that was a touchstone in creating the overall feel of Laurel Hell: “I start the day lying and end with the truth / That I’m dying for the knife.” Cowboy was driven by personas of female strength and defiance that, however compelling, amounted to the musician “putting on different masks.” Like the mountain laurels for this new album is named, public perception, like the intoxicating prism of the internet, can offer an alluring façade that obscures a deadly trap—one that tightens the more you struggle. “I got to a point,” she admits, “where I just knew that if I kept going this way, I would numb myself to completion.”
　　Exhausted by this warped mirror, and our addiction to false binaries, she began writing songs that stripped away the masks and revealed the complex and often contradictory realities behind them. “I needed love songs about real relationships that are not power struggles to be won or lost,” she explains. “I needed songs that could help me forgive both others and myself. I make mistakes all the time. I don't want to put on a front where I'm a role model, but I'm also not a bad person. I needed to create this space mostly for myself where I sat in that gray area.”
　　The songs that resulted embody that space. “Heat Lightening,” a hypnotic, melancholy ode to insomnia and the “sleeping eyelid of the sky” turns in a sensual R&B direction halfway through, while “The Only Heartbreaker”—co-written with Dan Wilson, and the first such song in her discography—pairs soaring pop swells with deceptively straightforward lyrics whose sincere refrain turns ironic as it depicts “the person always messing up in the relationship, the designated Bad Guy who gets the blame,” and implicitly wonders if “the reason you’re always the one making mistakes is because you’re the only one trying.” Similarly, “Should’ve Been Me” takes a look at infidelity rarely found in songs so infectious. “I wanted to write a song about cheating in a relationship that came from a place of love and understanding,” says Mitski. “What if there was all the love in the world, and still no way to make it work?”
　　She wrote many of these songs during or before 2018, while the album finished mixing in May 2021. It is the longest span of time Mitski has ever spent on a record, and a process that concluded amid a radically changed world. She recorded Laurel Hell with her longtime producer Patrick Hyland throughout the isolation of a global pandemic, during which some of the songs “slowly took on new forms and meanings, like seed to flower.” The album as a whole evolved “to be more uptempo and dance-y. I needed to create something that was also a pep talk,” Mitski explains. “Like, it's time, we're going to dance through this.” The tension that emerges between her refined but plaintive lyrics and the effervescent 1980s sound is a desperately needed infusion, and the work of a mature artist: an album that delivers nuanced profundity on a current of contagious dance beats. It is irresistible.
　　“I used to think I’d be done by 20,” she sings in “Working for the Knife,” “though maybe at 30 I’ll see a way to change.” Sometimes it’s hard to see the change when you’re the agent of it, but for the lucky rest of us, Mitski has written a soundtrack for transformation, a map to the place where vulnerability and resilience, sorrow and delight, error and transcendence can all sit within our humanity, can all be seen as worthy of acknowledgment, and ultimately, love. “I accept it all,” she promises. “I forgive it all.”

Laurel Hell - Mitski

在Mitski发行了生涯最佳作品Your Best American Girl 之后，曾有粉丝将这支单曲解读为Mitski作为女性音乐人对于独立摇滚圈的控诉，而Mitski只有一句轻描淡写的解释：“我只是恋爱了。” 5年后，Mitski发行了Working for the knife作为新专辑Laurel Hell的首支单曲，意外地宣告... (展开)

Laurel Hell——于是她便在电闪雷鸣的月桂地狱中谢幕

在经历了一段长时间的退圈休息之后，2021年Mitski终于恢复了社交媒体账号并发行新单曲Working for the Knife，宣告了新专辑的到来。在2018年华丽细腻的Be The Cowboy将Mitski推上了事业的巅峰，四年之后的新专辑很难不让粉丝们期待。专辑名为Laurel Hell，Mitski解释道：“‘月... (展开)

【翻译】Pitchfork乐评一枚

Mitski的第六张专辑是一张表达了她与她自己激烈的职业生涯的关系的、朴素细微且反叛的独立流行专辑。 Mitski用一种早熟的人无情且自以为洞察一切的眼光看待着世间万物。她尖锐的灵敏度正是让她的粉丝产生共鸣的地方，就好像Mitski是世界上唯一了解这些粉丝的人。这也是她警惕就... (展开)

一些胡言乱语

首先 Zewer老师太帅了看他长评没怎么看内容净盯着头像斯哈了（） OK Zewer老师很好地从背景主题以及对曲目的听感分析方面review了这张专辑结合滚石的interview其实这张可讲的已经差不多了：主题明确结构清晰制作到位（但略显混乱）氛围可代入但旋律性不足标准的indie... (展开)

随便写写

潮水般汹涌的吉他音墙被新浪潮/艺术流行特色的电子化思路取代，Mitski选择了闪亮的1980s声音去表达更多的心碎和柔软，但也承担着巨大的风险。 Track02 Working for the Knife 就隐隐透露出一种“差一把劲”的遗憾。具有略微剐蹭感的杂音+规整的具有颗粒感的节奏组，已经非常贴... (展开)
