Singer-songwriter Mitski has sparked speculation about new music with two cryptic Instagram videos posted this week. The clips feature domestic scenes and enigmatic whispers, hinting at an upcoming announcement. This would mark her first release since 2023's 'The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We'.
Mitski began 2026 by sharing intriguing content on Instagram, fueling fan theories about a new album. On January 13, she posted a video of herself in a cluttered kitchen, singing softly while preparing a meal, evoking a sense of everyday intimacy. The following day, January 14, came a more surreal clip: Mitski enters through a front door, collapses to the floor, and murmurs, “nothing’s about to happen to me.”
Her Instagram bio now links to a mysterious site titled ‘Mitski: Where’s My Phone?’, accompanied by a US area code phone number. Fans speculate this could be the name of a forthcoming single or a promotional element for a larger project.
Such teasers suggest Mitski is gearing up for a significant reveal, likely ending a three-year gap in her discography. Her previous album, ‘The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We’, released in 2023, received acclaim, including a spot among DIY Magazine's top 20 albums of the year. Observers anticipate this could usher in a fresh creative phase for the artist known for her introspective indie rock.
