Description
Mitski’s sixth album, 'Laurel Hell' is an austere, nuanced, and disaffected indie-pop record that, in part, addresses her turbulent relationship with her own career.
Retro synth intros and electronic soundscapes lend the album a nostalgic feel. In contrast, toned-down tracks with minimal instrumentation show a more restrained side of the indie pop star. Their sounds unite them to a degree, but there still appear to be two distinct moods on the album — the introspective, haunting one and the fast-paced, vibrant one.
