How often do you hear a song that sounds like nothing you’ve ever heard before? And how often is that song actually good?

Mitski, a New York based songwriter/performer (the Singer/Songwriter label just doesn’t feel appropriate), is promoting the release of her second full-length album, due out in August of this year. Starting tonight, she’ll be releasing one music video a week, until all the tracks are out and the album goes online. And she’s sparing no time getting to the good stuff. “Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart” relentlessly moves froward through its 2 minutes and eighteen seconds, ending before you even know what hit you. The song is led by a guitar and fender rhodes unison line that recalls late 60s jazz fusion, snaking in and out of key areas and opposing everything in its path. Mitski’s enigmatic voice sweetly sings a folk-based melody that sounds like it could have been adapted from an old lullaby, creating contrast with the angular guitar/keyboard line. Holding everything together is a steady pounding of drums, tambourines, handclaps, and a round bass. A minute and a half in, the track truly explodes, opening up for more drums, a trumpet counterpoint and ethereal vocals swirling in the background.

The music video, by Ryan Galloway, is an animated sequence of kinetic colored bars and flashing rotoscoped images of the singer. With a song and a video as exciting as this, it’ll be hard to be more excited by any upcoming release this summer. Make sure you follow along with the videos as they’re released, and check out Mitski’s fantastic first record, Lush.
