Mitski has shared a new music video for "Star," a track off of her recent album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, which was released in September 2023.
"That love is like a star / It's gone, we just see it shining," Mitski sings as she paddles a boat through the mists in the dramatic black-and-white clip. "I'll keep a leftover light burning."
Watch the video below.
The video was directed by Mitski's frequent collaborator Maegan Houang, who previously helmed the visuals for Puberty 2's "Happy" and Laurel Hell's "The Only Heartbreaker".
"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 press release. "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."
The clip was filmed overnight on a small pond in summer 2023 with painted pieces of woods standing in for mountains to create the "otherworldly, atmospheric feeling" that Houang wanted.
"I wanted this video to encapsulate the impressionistic circularity we all experience," says director Maegan Houang.
Fresh off of the spring leg of her North American tour in support of The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, Mitski is currently performing a run of shows in the UK and Europe while she continues working on the stage musical of The Queen's Gambit.
If you go see her on tour, please don't call her mother. She hates that.
