Watch Mitski’s New “Stay Soft” Video
Mitski has released the music video for “Stay Soft,” a track off her new album Laurel Hell. The visual is directed by Maegan Houang, who previously co-directed the video for “The Only Heartbreaker.” Laurel Hell is out now on Dead Oceans. Watch the video for “Stay Soft” below. Houang said in a statement: “This video is heavily inspired by Romanticism and paintings and artwork from the Victorian era. Like the lyrics of the song ‘Stay Soft,’ paintings from that era have a gentle quality, but they still evoke a certain feeling of unexplored darkness and danger.

She is also headlining her own tour lat...

Mitski Returns From Lengthy Hiatus With ‘Laurel Hell’
After four long years, Mitski is finally back with her brand new album Laurel Hell. The 11-track record clocks in just a little over half an hour and marks her first full-length effort since 2018’s Be the Cowboy. A bulk of the material hears Mitski address her own problems with her career in music — which she opted to leave behind a few years ago — and how she has wrestled with this industry and its demands from her. Fans don’t really get a conclusion from the 31-year-old artist, meaning they will have to wait and see if a followup will ever come to fruition. “I felt it was shaving away my soul little by little,” Mitski told Rolling Stone of Be the Cowboy’s success. “The music industry is this supersaturated version of consumerism. You are the product being consumed, bought, and sold. Even...

No Shot At Joining The Army Without A Shot: US Army To Boot Soldiers Who Refuse COVID Vaccine
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Phynart Studio / Getty In other words, right-wingers who stand at the intersection of being vehemently anti-vax and having “support the troops” tattooed on their buttocks might be about to have quite the crisis of faith on their hands. The Army announced Wednesday that it will immediately begin discharging soldiers who refuse to get the shot. According to the Associated Press, that means more than 3,300 service members are at risk of being made to serve their country from anywhere else but in its military institution. And yes, it’s the military in general, not just the Army, that’s ditching its anti-vax service members like they were outdated flip phones.
