Bury Me At Makeout Creek
Mitski wrote these songs in little bursts over the past few years, and they feel informed by moments of noticing â noticing a sound thatâs out of place, a building that groans in decay, an opinion that splits a room, a feeling that canât be contained in a body. It was recorded at both the Bomb Shelter in East Nashville and the Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles.
The album incorporates an orchestra arranged and conducted by Drew Erickson, as well as a full choir of 17 people - 12 in LA and 5 in Nashville - arranged by Mitski. And for the first time, it felt important to Mitski to have a band recording live together in the studio, to create this new sublime sound.
Working with her longtime producer Patrick Hyland, the album has a wide-range of references, from Ennio Morriconeâs bombastic Spaghetti Western scores to Carter Burwellâs tundra-filling Fargo soundtrack, from the breathy intimacy of Arthur Russell to the strident aliveness of Scott Walker or Igor Stravinsky, from the jubilation of Caetano Veloso to the twangy longing of Faron Young.
