Mitski shares new single "Working for the Knife," announces tour

Mitski has just shared a new single. It’s titled “Working for the Knife,” and in a press release, Mitski says, “It’s about going from being a kid with a dream, to a grown up with a job, and feeling that somewhere along the way you got left behind. It’s being confronted with a world that doesn’t seem to recognize your humanity, and seeing no way out of it.” Check out the video below, directed by Zia Anger, with Ashley Connor directing photography.

Mitski has also announced a long list of tour dates in 2022. Check those out below.
