Before leakers have the opportunity to spill the tea, Oscar-nominated rocker Mitski has just announced that her forthcoming album, The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We, will spawn a double feature. In addition to the new music — including singles “Star,” “Heaven,” and “Bug Like An Angel” — Mitski has curated a special film screening featuring some of her favorite works around the world.
Beginning next week (September 7) ahead of the album’s release, fans will have the opportunity to drop into select theaters to watch films Days Of Heaven (directed by Terrence Malick, 1978), Desert Hearts (dir. Donna Deitch, 1986), Drugstore Cowboy (dir. Gus Van Sant, 1989), and La Strada (dir. Federico Fellini, 1954), which are rumored to be points of inspiration for Mitski’s upcoming release. Attendees will also get a sneak peek of the album.
Although Mitski won’t be in attendance, at each event, attendees will receive a limited edition poster created exclusively for the series. The showings will be held at theaters in eight international cities, including Chicago, Dallas, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Nashville, Sydney, and New York.
In addition to the joint advanced listening and movie experience, the following week, supporters will have the opportunity to attend the immersive listening experience under the stars in Tokyo, Japan.
