Mitski has got candid about her decision to take a hiatus from music and how “absolutely terrible” it feels to be releasing new music.In 2019, the indie star announced on Twitter that a gig in New York’s central park would be her, “last show indefinitely”. When a fan responded to her now-deleted account, asking “You’ve been on the road for what…five years?” she responded, “Yeah.
It’s time to be a human again. And have a place to live.” At the time she assured fans that she wasn’t calling it quits, but “stepping away”.Now that she’s set to release her sixth album ‘Laurel Hell’ on February 4, she’s shared more details behind her decision to stop touring and making music.“You develop this constant ticker in your mind of people’s potential criticism or commentary on whatever you’re making, even in the middle of making it,” she told the BBC.
“And that will never really go away, I don’t think.”She also discussed the real reason that she stepped away wasn’t “physical exhaustion”, but being overwhelmed by the “super-saturated” consumerism of the music industry.“It was simpler to just explain it away as physical exhaustion which, of course, was part of it,” she said. “But looking back, it was more mentally [about] being a working person in the music industry, which is like this super-saturated version of consumerism.”Mitski also said that during her time away from music she was “filled with regret and grief” thinking “maybe I’d made a big mistake”.

Ethan Shanfeld “It’s a little bit magic,” Adrianne Lenker chirrs on the title track of Big Thief’s new album, “Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You.” Then, over a weeping pedal steel and her own signature “brush guitar,” her curiosity drifts from a river of morning geese to the birth of a billion planets to a dragon in the phone line.

NEW YORK -- The band Spoon has taken a sonic fork in the road and, appropriately enough, the first single from their new album mentions another piece of silverware — a knife.“The Hardest Cut” — complete with the line "we live on a knife" — roars with a dark, grunge-meets-'70s guitar energy, a signal of what's to come from the Texas-based band on their 10-track, 10th album, “Lucifer on the Sofa.”“We wanted to make a rock ‘n’ roll record, a great rock ‘n’ roll record," says frontman Britt Daniel. "I just don’t feel like there’s enough great rock ‘n’ roll records being made these days.”“Lucifer on the Sofa” via Matador Records is a turn toward more muscular, minimalist classic rock, more aggressive and rehearsed than the band's predecessor “Hot Thoughts,” where synths were prominent and songs constructed on the fly.“We always tend to want to react a bit against the record we just did.
