Product Details
Mitski built her reputation through Bandcamp uploads and relentless touring before "Puberty 2" landed in 2016 and made the critical conversation impossible to ignore. Recorded with producer Patrick Hyland, who has worked with her since her earliest releases, the album finds her guitar work hitting harder and her arrangements growing more expansive without losing the raw intimacy that made her underground following so devoted.
Ask Mitski Miyawaki about happiness and she'll warn you: "Happiness fucks you." It's a lesson that's been writ large into the New Yorker's gritty, outsider-indie for years, but never so powerfully as on her newest album, 'Puberty 2'. "Happiness is up, sadness is down, but one's almost more destructive than the other," she says. "When you realise you can't have one without the other, it's possible to spend periods of happiness just waiting for that other wave." On 'Puberty 2', that tension is palpable: a both beautiful and brutal romantic hinterland, in which one of America's new voices hits a brave new stride.
