"Mitski's latest album is a concept album about 'a reclusive woman in an unkempt house-outside of her home, she is a deviant; inside of her home, she is free.' Throughout the album, our narrator agonizes over losing her phone, contemplates death, rails against living in a small town, and muses over cats-the two that live with her and the one that comes into her yard."
