As promised, Mitski has returned with a new song. It’s called ‘Waiting for the Knife’, and it was co-produced by Mitski and frequent collaborator Patrick Hyland. The track arrives with an accompanying video directed by Zia Anger with Ashley Conner and filmed at the Egg in Albany, New York. Check it out below, along with Mitski’s upcoming 2022 tour dates.
“It’s about going from being a kid with a dream, to a grown up with a job, and feeling that somewhere along the way you got left behind,” Mitski said of the new single in a statement. “It’s being confronted with a world that doesn’t seem to recognize your humanity, and seeing no way out of it.”
Mitski released her last album, Be the Cowboy, back in 2018.
