the ending is the most wonderfully antisocial thing i've heard all year <3

This track is crushing me this week:

I'll want to spend some time with the new album before taking about it, but it's streaming now: http://www.npr.org/2016/06/01/480340979/first-listen-mitski-puberty-2

I haven't hyped anything to myself as much in ages, but I'm not disappointed. It's wonderful. I just wish it was like, ten minutes longer.
Getting some very Cardigans vibes from Thursday Girl and Crack Baby.

A buncha US East Coast gigs sold out quick.
― curmudgeon, Thursday, 9 June 2016 17:14 (ten years ago)
Omg, "My Body's Made of Crushed Little Stars"
― Hi! I'm twice-coloured! (Sund4r), Thursday, 9 June 2016 18:05 (ten years ago)
Yes! That is a stand-out. I also loved I Bet On Losing Dogs. So powerful.
I tried getting tickets to see her over a month before her last gig in London and they'd sold out! Bought my tickets for October already.

as i said upthread "i bet on losing dogs" kills me

shit this is so good

Tracks 4-8 are untouchable.

This is cool. I really like Fireworks.

― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 10 June 2016 03:02 (ten years ago)
hm, that's amazing. "My Body's Made of Crushed Little Stars" is an incredible song, the only standout for me so far. But it'll take some time with the rest. That song though, boy.
― flappy bird, Friday, 10 June 2016 03:07 (ten years ago)
first song sounds like Xiu Xiu
― flappy bird, Monday, 13 June 2016 01:56 (nine years ago)
almost all of this lady's influences seem pretty 1990s, this album could've come out when i was in college. not a bad thing. just not entirely what i expected.
― wizzz! (amateurist), Monday, 20 June 2016 18:37 (nine years ago)
second track sounds like late-70s Wire
it couldn't have come out in the 90s - the production is quite hi-tech
― imago, Monday, 20 June 2016 19:09 (nine years ago)
anyway it's bloody amazing yeah
i'm not so keen on tracks 2 and 3 but they're still at least good. the rest is fucking brilliant.
― imago, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 10:52 (nine years ago)
Totally sounds like a Greg Saunier production
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:12 (nine years ago)
"once more to see you" kinda interrupts the flow in a way that i find really distracting, otherwise i love everything else about this record
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Thursday, 23 June 2016 13:51 (nine years ago)
late to this, but it's beautiful <3
― oculus lump (contenderizer), Thursday, 23 June 2016 14:10 (nine years ago)
'dan the dancer' (the wire-a-like) is the one i'm not really sold on, because it doesn't really resolve, but maybe that's the point. colin newman would approve. i don't mind 'once more to see you' so much coz it's too lovely to hate on, if a bit weirdly sequenced
everything from 'fireworks' onward is straight fire incredible album and perfectly sequenced
― imago, Thursday, 23 June 2016 14:49 (nine years ago)
I'm in
The whole record just sounds really great on big speakers too

Never thought I'd put together a sentence like this, but when there Weezer-y guitars kick in on Your Best American Girl it's like =D
― circa1916, Wednesday, 29 June 2016 12:13 (nine years ago)
is she particularly worth seeing live? playing a likely to be sold out show this saturday at a venue that is really uncomfortable when crowded... love the album btw
― flopson, Thursday, 21 July 2016 01:05 (nine years ago)
she is absolutely worth seeing live
― How Butch, I mean (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Thursday, 21 July 2016 04:05 (nine years ago)
yep
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 21 July 2016 10:51 (nine years ago)
i liked her live more than my friends did, but if you love the album you'll prob love the show.
― dc, Thursday, 21 July 2016 13:59 (nine years ago)
thats the one i am going to flopson! and the first time i have been there since its new name
― a simba man (Will M.), Thursday, 21 July 2016 14:32 (nine years ago)
i've been there many times since. better but it still sucks lol
― flopson, Thursday, 21 July 2016 15:28 (nine years ago)
you got a ticket, Will?
― flopson, Thursday, 21 July 2016 15:40 (nine years ago)
yup... bought mine a few weeks ago because i thought it was gonna sell out.
― a simba man (Will M.), Thursday, 21 July 2016 15:47 (nine years ago)
nice. i just got one
― flopson, Thursday, 21 July 2016 16:03 (nine years ago)
it picks up where be the cowboy left off while incorporating the mellower sounds from the last album. it's solid! i feel like she's probably capable of something better but those really fantastic moments are fairly rare for her so maybe not. i'm happy to settle for regular 'pretty good' moments though
― ufo, Tuesday, 10 March 2026 13:36 (three months ago)
about how I'd sum it up too
― imago, Tuesday, 10 March 2026 13:37 (three months ago)
"dead women" is just wonderful though, that last chorus
― ufo, Tuesday, 10 March 2026 13:45 (three months ago)
A lot of midtempo blah on this album.

one of the best songs of the year absolutely
― imago, Tuesday, 10 March 2026 13:56 (three months ago)
when i saw her "i'll change for you" performance on colbert, i felt like i was listening to karen carpenter singing for a second (laudatory), her voice is so beautiful
