Mitski could play right now in the same league as Lana Del Rey. It may sound exaggerated, but it is enough to listen to his seventh album, the brilliant "The Land Is Inhospitable And So We Are" (2023), to make sure of it. His visit to Noches del Botánico promises unforgettable moments.
The elegant temperance of the music of the American - of Japanese descent - Mitski Miyawaki is the result of an almost nomadic upbringing: she lived in Turkey, China, Malaysia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, until settling in New York, and that is probably why her songs have been nourished, throughout a career of more than a decade and seven albums, by electronic pop, folk, country and confessional indie pop. No strings attached. With the same fluency to support Pixies and Lorde. His seventh album, the brilliant "The Land Is Inhospitable And So We Are" (2023), included in numerous lists of the best of last year for the specialized media, opts for the most sumptuous and reflective facet of his proposal. Mitski was on the verge of leaving the music world three years ago, overwhelmed by the ravages of fame, but she reconsidered her impulsive decision and the world can and should celebrate it.
