Mitski Reviews Harry Styles’ New Album

Harry Styles recently released his self-titled solo debut. Now, Mitski—who previously covered One Direction’s “Fireproof”—has written a review of the album for the Talkhouse. Mitski opens her review, “As I’ve always done with beautiful people, I’ve long only noticed Harry Styles from afar.” She goes on to compare him to the popular boy in school, explaining that this album is when you learn that “this beautiful, distant boy from school sometimes says stupid things like, ‘You’re cool, no one else knows who the Beatles are.’” Elsewhere, Mitski finds fault with some of the album’s more tired affectations, but notes that she would still “stand like an ant in an arena crowd just to witness his magnetism; his expansion as a performer since his beginnings in One Direction.” Read her full piece here.

Check out Mitski’s upcoming tour dates here, which include a series of shows with Pixies and a performance at this summer’s Pitchfork Music Festival.
