Mitski Announces Eighth Album ‘Nothing’s About to Happen to Me,’ Drops Lead Single ‘Where’s My Phone?’

A Shirley Jackson–inspired lead single signals a theatrical, narrative focus.

Overview

  • The album arrives February 27 via Dead Oceans, marking Mitski’s eighth studio release.
  • Lead single “Where’s My Phone?” is out with a Noel Paul–directed video drawing on We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
  • Press materials frame the record around a reclusive woman in an unkempt house, positioning the project as a contained narrative.
  • Mitski wrote all songs and vocals; Patrick Hyland produced and engineered; Bob Weston handled mastering; her touring band and orchestrator Drew Erickson contributed performances and arrangements.
  • An 11-track listing was revealed, and the rollout includes a Pecos, Texas phone line featuring a Shirley Jackson quotation, cover art by Marc Burkhardt, and a single illustration by Emily Flake.
