am I alone in getting strong Annie Clarke/St. Vincent vibes from this?
― niels, Saturday, 29 October 2016 12:21 (nine years ago)
the comparison has been made on RYM quite a lot, but I'm not entirely convinced
― imago, Saturday, 29 October 2016 12:31 (nine years ago)
also imo comparing female solo artists to each other is a fine habit to get out of
― imago, Saturday, 29 October 2016 12:33 (nine years ago)
I am allowed to compare male artists to male artists though?
it's mostly the melodic style and vocal delivery, compare Mitski "Happy" to St. Vincent "Strange Mercy":

Saw her in Durham, NC tonight. No tense vibes, and the crowd adored her. Power trio format for most of the show, with Mitski on bass sounding like she'd borrowed her rig from Bob Weston. She was magnetic. Plus she earned my goodwill forever for explicitly declining to play the obligatory encore. "When it's over, it's over... let's no go through that social ritual" (or words to that effect).

can't stop listening to your best american girl

Finally shelled out for this after spinning it on Spotify all the time. Does anyone else find the distorted guitar timbres really harsh and digital-sounding? I really like the tunes and voice but I don't think I understand the production choices on this album.

it really works on my body's made of crushed little stars, but otherwise I agree with you- the rest of the album sounds very cold.

it is a bit hard on the ears
much contemporary music is...

Finally I like a song within the ILM top 50!I've just heard Your Best American Girl today, feel like it sounds really like something I've listened to within the past year or so, but what??

as someone already said upthread, i believe, the run from Fireworks to Crushed Little Stars is stop-you-in-your-tracks good.

"Geyser" is nuts, I'm into it. I like the soundtrack tune w/ Xiu Xiu a lot too.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 15 May 2018 13:02 (eight years ago)
On first listen it's the Xiu Xiu tune that positively nuts for, but Geyser too is great. Stoked.
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 13:03 (eight years ago)
I assumed that Geyser must've been a mid-album tune because of the way it starts. It's so impressive.

I Love everything about this. The last 45 seconds in particular is a real moment.
Feel like this album could well be a classic.

Don't Cry for Mitski: Can the most emotional indie songwriter out there move on with her musical life without breaking hearts?

She's 27?!

How old did you think she was? Sounds about right to me
