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. I want the audience to feel safe within this fabricated world and then realize that the character Mitski plays is being hunted.”
Mitski will be opening for Harry Styles at upcoming European dates. She is also headlining her own tour later in the year. Revisit Pitchfork’s 2018 interview “Don’t Cry for Mitski.”
