New Music: Mitski's Here With A Track That's Perfect For A Melancholic Winter Day

What can I say, I love a Mitski track where she pulls out her vulnerability, slaps it on the table in front of me, says, “here you go,” and proceeds to turn me into a melancholic mess. “Heat Lightning” does just that, and I’m already imagining myself at a Mitski concert in the future, singing along to it and feeling utterly exposed. From the jump, she made this song the anxiety girl anthem: “I’ve laid awake since 1:00 and now it’s 4 o’clock/Though I’ve held on, can’t carry it much longer.

So I’m disappointed that my reaction to their new track, “Marathon of Anger,” amounts to “huh, okay.” Parquet Courts appear to be in their bleep bloop era, which is fine—intriguing even—and I know what they’reto do. But the song isn’t quite hitting for me... yet. I hope I’ll warm up to it because I actually enjoy the lyrics, a commentary on the mass protests of 2020, paired with a haunting refrain of “it’s time everyone gone to work.
