Carrying the trend of softer, comfort music with Mitski, a singer/songwriter I had no previous knowledge of but my wife loved listening to on our local radio station. She got me last year’s The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We, and over the last few days I’ve been returning to it, finding comfort in its hushed whispers and delicate melodies. I won’t heap the accolades others have; I have minor quibbles here and there, particularly with the monotony of some tracks, but I was never looking for grandiose ambitions and reinventing the wheel here. I want music that wraps me in a cozy blanket and keeps me feeling okay with myself when I need it, and there are times when that can only happen with an album like this.
