Mitski is “both a disciplined lyricist and technician who balances tension, tenderness, aggression, and the odd splash of macabre humor with consideration; every note feels intelligent on a Mitski record” (ELLE). This absolutely rings true across Laurel Hell, her new album released earlier this year on Dead Oceans. Today, she presents a Clark remix of one of its singles, “Love Me More.” Already a disco-tinged and urgent number, this rework by Clark ups the ante. Its oscillating percussion and distressing synth bolster Mitski’s vocals into a pleading cry: “I want you to love me more.”
“Clark’s music, specifically his album Death Peak, was what opened my eyes to contemporary electronic music,” says Mitski. “It showed me how emotive it could be. So when I was asked to do a remix, he was the first and only person that came to mind for the job.”
Clark adds: “Huge pleasure to be asked to do this, thank you. I love what Mitski does. I spent ages on the kick. Haven’t done that for a while, but it all comes flooding back.”
