It’s been months since the release of Mitski’s The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, and she’s still not done promoting it. The black-and-white music video for its second single “Star” is here, and it will win you over with its dreamy, melancholic atmosphere.
“Star” was released as a double-sided single alongside “Heaven” back in August last year, and its music video is finally here. The atmospheric visual sees Mitski paddling a boat across a foggy lake in the middle of the night.
This music video reunited Mitski with her frequent collaborator Maegan Houang, who wanted this visual to offer a contrast to their previous narrative/concept-driven videos.
“I wanted this video to encapsulate the impressionistic circularity we all experience. 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,” said Houang in a statement.
“Star” was released as one of the songs from Mitski’s seventh studio album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, which came out last September. It also produced singles “Bug Like an Angel” and “My Love Mine All Mine”, and she’s promoting with a tour across Europe this spring.
