CHAPTER 7. THE FIFTH SEASON - CROSSROADS.
“Could it get any better?” transforms the desolation of the original song into a vision of planetary renewal, where nature and humanity recover together after a long dark age.  The lyrics chart a quiet miracle: green shoots pushing through stone, rivers reclaiming their paths, and children running where wastelands once lay.  Birdsong and sunlight become emblems of resilience, while the bridge—“from ashes and silence the green will rise”—celebrates the hard work and collective hope that make such healing possible.  Rather than mere wishful thinking, the song offers a hard-won optimism: the idea that through perseverance and care, the earth can “come home” and the light we feared lost can shine again.

Even from the bleak vantage that “Could it Get Any Worse?” evokes, many scientists and futurists see plausible pathways for renewal if humanity commits to them.  Large-scale carbon draw-down—through rewilding, regenerative agriculture, and direct air capture—could slowly cool the atmosphere over coming centuries.  Vast afforestation projects and ocean restoration can rebuild lost ecosystems faster than past natural recoveries, while emerging bio- and geo-engineering tools may buy crucial time.  Just as important, the cultural shifts already under way—toward circular economies, renewable energy, and valuing ecological health as core wealth—lay the groundwork for a long healing.  Earth’s systems are resilient: if emissions peak soon and restoration efforts scale, models suggest that forests, soils and seas can begin to regenerate within a human lifetime, with gradual stabilisation of climate and the slow return of many species.  The “after” in Afterweather need not mean permanent exile from sunlight; it can also signal the dawn of a wiser era in which human ingenuity and care help the planet re-green and the sky open again.

Have you seen my hands?
Just look at 'em shake.
And the song just keeps on repeating,
Drop the needle again.
And I dance with your ghost,
Oh, but that ain't the way…
I can't move on and I can't stay the same.

And all my friends say…

"Hey hey, turn the record over.
Hey hey, and I'll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over.
Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet."

Have you seen my heart?
Have you seen how it bleeds?
And the nights are so long baby
Out here in the deep.
The tick, ticking of hours, lonely.
I hear the alarm
I used to hear when she would sleep in my arms.

But "better sense" says…

"Hey hey, turn the record over.
Hey hey, and I'll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over.
Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet."

And all my friends say,
"Hey hey, turn the record over.
Hey hey, and I'll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over.
Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet."

Where you used to be…here with me

"45"

This album is a compilation of the 2017 Destructo Disk EP, "Punk Rock for Kids Who Can't Skate," remastered to fix some of the kinks from the original release, as well as (most of) our splits with X-ray Cat, Les Baisures, and Baxter. It also features 3 new recordings that we hadn't released until this point; "Death Pact," "Keef America Gr8," and a re-do of "Glenda."

This album was released on Spotify and Apple Music a couple months before we uploaded it to bandcamp.

Sometimes, Mitski feels life would be easier without hope, or a soul, or love. But when she closes her eyes and thinks about what’s truly hers, what can’t be repossessed or demolished, she sees love. “The best thing I ever did in my life was to love people,” she says. “I wish I could leave behind all the love I have after I die, so I can shine all this goodness, all this good love that I’ve created onto other people.” She hopes her newest album, The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, will shine love long after she’s gone. That’s precisely how it feels: like a love that’s haunting the land.

“This is my most American album,” she says. The music feels like a profound act of witnessing this country, in all of its private sorrows and painful contradictions. Sonically Mitski’s most epic and wise album, the songs introduce wounds and then actively heal them. Here, love is time-traveling to bless our tender days, like light from a distant star.

It's full of the ache of the grown-up, seemingly mundane heartbreaks and joys that are often unsung but feel enormous. It’s a tiny epic. From the bottom of a glass, to a driveway slushy with memory and snow, to a freight train barreling through the Midwest, and all the way to the moon, it feels like everything and everyone is crying out in pain, arching towards love. Love is that inhospitable land, beckoning and then rejecting us. To love this place, this earth, this America, this body takes work. It might be impossible. The best things are.
