Product Details
Puberty 2 arrived in 2016 and quietly rewired what indie rock could do with loneliness. Recorded with producer Patrick Hyland, it's the album that turned Mitski from a college-circuit cult figure into one of the most talked-about songwriters of her generation, with tracks like "Your Best American Girl" landing as genuine cultural moments for listeners who'd never quite heard their own isolation reflected back so clearly.
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.
