MITSKI – PUBERTY 2 Cassette Tape For Discount

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.
