Mitski's barking latest and an Icelandic jazz ingenue.

Calm after the storm

THE LAND IS INHOSPITABLE AND SO ARE WE
by Mitski

Like Billie Eilish, Weyes Blood and Lorde (for whom she opened in North America on the Melodrama World Tour), Japanese-American artist Mitski isn't risk-averse.

The 32-year-old was classically trained, explored heavy prog-rock, opened for the Pixies and, among other soundtrack appearances, was on the haunting, Oscar-nominated This is a Life from Everything Everywhere All At Once with David Byrne and Son Lux.
