Mitski Revisits ‘Buffalo Replaced,’ Covers Pete Seeger Fave ‘Coyote, My Little Brother’

Mitski has released Spotify Singles versions of 'Buffalo Replaced' and 'Coyote, My Little Brother.'

Like the studio version, the recording features strummed acoustic guitar and Mitski’s delicate lyrics describing an open frontier and the fleeting nature of hope; it’s just a little more raw and up front, and her singing at the end takes centerstage. She also recorded a version of the folk song, “Coyote, My Little Brother,” which Pete Seeger popularized, pushing her voice heavenward in the intro and joining it with a gently swinging acoustic guitar rhythm. Around her Chicago area shows next month, a pop-up shop will focus on showcase photos from The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, curated by photographer Ebru Yildiz.
