Mitski has released a new video for ‘Star’, a single from her 2023 album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We. It’s directed by Maegan Houang, who worked with Mitski on the videos for Puberty 2’s ‘Happy’ and Laurel Hell’s ‘The Only Heartbreaker’ and ‘Stay Soft’. The clip was filmed on a small pond overnight and finds Mitski performing on a boat amongst painted pieces of wood. Watch it below.
“Unlike the more narrative/concept driven videos Mitski and I have done together in the past, I wanted this video to encapsulate the impressionistic circularity we all experience,” Houang explained in a statement. “Our lives oscillate between light and dark repeating itself in an endless cycle where nothing is permanent. The best moments are fleeting, but so are the bad.”
Earlier this year, Mitski shared a cover of Pete Seeger’s ‘Coyote, My Little Brother’.
