I'm coming around on some songs. It still really annoys me when Conor's voice comes in on the first track. The lyric is one person's story, and it doesn't really make sense for this other voice to come in with octave unison. Phoebe's double tracked voice and the guitars would have been stronger for the song. I like Conor's voice as a lead, but it's not really capable of serving another role.

feel like I made a deal w/ satan to make my copy of Raising Sand much cooler, but he took all of the harmonies away as payment.

Yeah, she's confirmed this in interviews.

"Dylan Thomas" is my favorite song today; Most likely for the rest of the week.

I checked out her solo LP after all the hubbub. It totally lives up to the hype. Fabulous atmosphere, impressive depth, looking forward to her next one. The Boygenius EP is great as well. The album with Conor Oberst, not so much.

I'm just not as enthused by the collaborative stuff as I am by her solo album. Have a side-projectiness to them that I find off putting.

I was just thinking about my hometown, and I was thinking about reoccurring nightmares I have on tour. So on “Garden Song,” my tour manager sings with me. He’s 6-foot-7. He’s a Dutch man named Jeroen. I realized he had the voice of an angel when he was singing Mitski with me in the van and he was two octaves below me, and I was like, “You sound like a Dutch Matt Berninger from the National.”

This sounds better with each listen. I’m sleep deprived and on a train at the moment so that sound of looping backwards guitars (?) is blending with everything around me and it’s beautiful.

Excellent new song, love the spooky double-tracked vocal vibe she's working with. No info on the sophomore lp?
