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.

Omg, "My Body's Made of Crushed Little Stars"
― Hi! I'm twice-coloured! (Sund4r), Thursday, 9 June 2016 18:05 (nine 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 (nine 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 (nine 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)
not going to assume this is a new observation but your best american girl is wheatus teenage dirtbag

first half of puberty is rocking my socks. not feeling the second half.
anybody who is also just getting into mitski - have a listen to 'retired from sad...' LP from 2013. great piano work
― meaulnes, Tuesday, 2 August 2016 23:31 (nine years ago)
Listening to the new Ryan Hemsworth single and wondering why it's more enjoyable than the previous two - it's got Mitski!

i bought this record without really having a feel for whether i liked it or not--there can be no debating that she's doing something interesting, at least--and thought it might be sort of like a less-funny xiu xiu. between the mid-90s downstrokiness and neuroses fully on display what it actually comes across as is maybe the truest descendent of pinkerton.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 15 August 2016 01:53 (nine years ago)
Yes. That is a doozy of a song.
― kornrulez6969, Wednesday, 7 September 2016 19:25 (nine years ago)
so...Your Best American Girl is the best song anyone's gonna release this year, huh
― alpine static, Friday, 23 September 2016 18:50 (nine years ago)
p much, although keep tabs on Weyes Blood as well
― imago, Friday, 23 September 2016 18:57 (nine years ago)
i loved that last Weyes Blood album, thanks for reminding me to check in on her
