Mitski's Haunting New Video for 'If I Leave'
Mitski's latest music video for the song 'If I Leave' from her eighth album, 'Nothing's About To Happen To Me', is a chilling and atmospheric affair. Directed by Jared Hogan, the video takes place in a spooky house, complete with peeling wallpaper, adding to the eerie atmosphere. This video marks Mitski's first studio album since 2023's 'The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We'.
The album's release comes after a surprise live album release in October 2025, which accompanied the premiere of her concert film, 'Mitski: The Land'. The film, directed by Grant James, featured footage from three shows at Atlanta's Fox Theatre in 2024, with a seven-piece band accompanying Mitski. Mitski's recent activities also include her first late-night TV appearance since 2022, performing 'I'll Change For You' on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert'.
Furthermore, Mitski is set to embark on an international tour later this year, visiting North America, Europe, and Asia. The tour will include residencies in New York, Los Angeles, and Sydney, Australia, offering fans around the world the chance to experience her captivating live performances.
