Mitski has unveiled “Star” and “Heaven,” two new songs from her forthcoming album, The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We. She also unveiled a string of European tour dates for October.

According to a press release, both “Star” and “Heaven” were written a few years ago, and have been biding their time, waiting to be adapted and encompassed into a larger work. As The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We began coming together, that moment finally arrived — Mitski teamed up with arranger and conductor Drew Erickson, the two recruited a full orchestra, and versions of both songs were cut, with a sense of openness and subtle craftsmanship that perfectly fits into the album’s sound.
