Mitski Sets Eighth Album 'Nothing's About to Happen to Me' for Feb. 27, Drops 'Where's My Phone?'

The project channels Shirley Jackson through a reclusive-house conceit, anchored by producer Patrick Hyland with mastering from Bob Weston.

Overview

  • The album arrives Feb. 27 via Dead Oceans following its official announcement on Jan. 16.
  • Lead single “Where’s My Phone?” is out now with a Noel Paul–directed video inspired by Shirley Jackson’s We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
  • The record is framed as a narrative about a reclusive woman in an unkempt home who is labeled deviant outside and experiences freedom inside.
  • Mitski wrote all the songs and performed all vocals, with production and engineering by Patrick Hyland, mastering by Bob Weston, and live orchestration arranged and conducted by Drew Erickson.
  • An 11-song tracklist was published, including “In a Lake,” “Cats,” and “Lightning,” as the rollout continues with a Pecos, Texas phone line and website that feature a Jackson quote.
