Be the Cowboy
Mitski (2018)
Top Tracks: “Geyser”, “Me and My Husband”, “Two Slow Dancers” Mitski (2018)
I adored this album from the moment it was released in 2018. I first became aware of Mitski in a weird way. When my band They Stole My Crayon’s album was released in summer 2016, it did surprisingly well, at least for a little while. One of the albums it was competing against on the Bandcamp charts was Mitski’s Puberty 2, and I checked it out at the time and was super impressed. Be the Cowboy is a huge step up in artistry and overall production, and it’s still in my regular rotation (May 2020).
