Northern Transmissions
Nothing’s About to Happen to Me, much like the house our narrator lives in, has many rooms to explore. It echoes with voices that beckon you to return for another listen. Mitski has always been an artist. This album is another sharp reminder of that

All Music
Full of dark, dark humor and produced by her longtime collaborator Patrick Hyland, Nothing's About to Happen to Me may be the Mitski-est Mitski album yet, despite its character-driven nature and partly because, at least on some level, it captures the anxiety of the Zeitgeist of its time

Under The Radar
Mitski’s stately and artful lyrics cut as deep as ever, but her art pop tragedies have rarely felt this consciously curious. The album is a cluttered manor house full of secrets and peculiarities simply waiting to be opened

Nothing’s About to Happen to Me presents a multifaceted Mitski, one that feels less monochromatic than she has on previous releases, but one can’t help but wonder if this album is her purposefully fractured response to sudden fame

No Ripcord
That Nothing’s About to Happen to Me feels both self-contained and expansive speaks to how Mitski moves to her own rhythm. When she expresses every desire to pare things down, the music ends up sounding more vital and complex. The more she pushes her art, the more her audience continues to grow
