Mitski returns with new single “Working for the Knife,” plots 2022 tour (BV presale for all dates)

Karma Oak

After playing her "last shows indefinitely" in 2019, Mitski returned on Monday (10/4) to tease a new song, and now it's here! It's called "Working for the Knife," and it was produced by her longtime collaborator Patrick Hyland, with an accompanying video directed by Zia Anger, which you can watch below. "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," Mitski says. "It’s being confronted with a world that doesn’t seem to recognize your humanity, and seeing no way out of it."

Mitski has also announced a huge 2022 tour, beginning in North America in February and March and heading overseas to Europe and the UK in April and May. North American dates include Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas, Austin, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Nashville, and more, and you can see all dates below.

The Los Angeles show is at Shrine Exposition Hall on March 3 (tickets), and the NYC show is at Radio City Music Hall of March 24 (tickets). Get tickets to all dates on the North American leg of the tour early on BrooklynVegan Presale starting Thursday, October 7 at 10 AM local time. Check back here on Thursday morning for the password.
