Mitski has shared a new live video shot during her run of four sold-out shows at Brooklyn Steel in New York City last year. The video shows her passionate, emotive performance of the fan favorite “Drunk Walk Home” from her 2014 album Bury Me At Makeout Creek. The Brooklyn Steel shows were part of an ongoing series of tours behind her hit record Be the Cowboy, which was widely considered to be among the best albums of 2018.
Director Derrick Belcham filmed our Brooklyn Steel run last year, and we thought we’d put out a lil video from it. This is Drunk Walk Home live. Thank you!! https://t.co/TDjI4qIOGH

“I asked filmmaker Derrick Belcham to film some of the four Brooklyn Steel dates we did at the end of last year’s U.S. tour, mostly to commemorate the first big Be The Cowboy tour, especially since I knew we wouldn’t repeat the same set again after that round of tours,” Mitski said in a statement. “Now that we’ve started to tour a new set this year, I wanted to put this video out as a goodbye to this old set, and a thank you to everyone who came to the shows last year.”
Belcham is a Canadian filmmaker based in Brooklyn, N.Y., who, prior to directing “Drunk Walk Home” for Mitski, has worked with artists like Philip Glass, Paul Simon, Laurie Anderson and Steve Reich.
Mitski is currently on tour in the American South with Bay Area songwriter Jay Som. Her tour runs through the summer with a number of high-profile festival appearances, including Governors Ball, Boston Calling, and Lollapalooza.
