Valentine's Day Na! E Ano Ngayon? (v. 2024)

02/14/2024 01:17:01 AM


It's 2024. Apat na taon na mula noong nagbago ang dekada at nung biglang nagshut down ang mundo dahil sa bwakananginang virus na yan na hindi lang kumitil ng buhay ng tao ay pati na rin ng mga relasyon at negosyo ng sansinukob. Balik na nga tayo sa normal talaga kahit noong 2022 pa eh. Kaya no wonder na kahit ayaw ko na dapat magsulat tungkol sa araw na ito for the 11th time... ay, ginawa ko na naman. Tangina kasi nitong mga tropa kong mala-budol kung mag-udyok eh.

[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]

“The best record of [Mitski’s] career” — Wall Street Journal, “Best Music of 2023”

“Mitski is a master storyteller — able to make music with a cinematic scope and novelist’s eye for detail” — Rolling Stone, #7 in “The 100 Best Albums of 2023”

“[Mitski’s] animist imagery is more vivid than ever on The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We.” 
— Pitchfork,  “The 50 Best Albums of 2023”

“Quiet and exacting, it’s rare to find songs that are so viscerally upsetting yet so compellingly relistenable. Mitski manages both here, and in the process has made a true stunner.” 
— Stereogum, #4 in “The 50 Best Albums of 2023”


Mitski unveils a short film for La Blogothèque of “I’m Your Man,” a standout song from her new album, The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We. Filmed in Paris and directed by Aelred Nils, the performance sees Mitski wandering the halls of a hundred-year old concert hall while playing an acoustic rendition of “I’m Your Man,” adding a haunting aura to what FADER calls “the tragic crux of The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We.”
