Mitski’s off-kilter folk pop is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a TikTok hit, but the musician’s intricate anthems of loneliness, hope and desire were embraced by a new generation during COVID and they haven’t let go since.
It’s given the once-comfortably cult Mitski a breakout moment that even she has seemed surprised by. Earlier this year, she played four nights at London’s Eventim Apollo in support of 2023’s gorgeous, lovelorn album The Land is Inhospitable And So Are We and on Sunday night, she returned to the capital to headline All Points East Festival in Victoria Park.
