The title of Mitski's newest album came to her as a joke sometime during the pandemic.
She imagined crossing state lines and seeing a welcome sign along the road. Instead of the usual slogans —like "The Land of 10,000 Lakes" or "The Constitution State" — the sign read "The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We."
It was a joke with a kernel of truth. "It's feeling really inhospitable in the United States right now," she told NPR's Morning Edition.
Mitski is revered by fans and fellow musicians. Iggy Pop once told BBC 6 she was "the most advanced American songwriter I know."
