Puberty 2 (10th Anniversary Edition)

Description

Interrogate Mitski Miyawaki about happiness, and she will warn you: “Happiness will ruin you.” A lesson long inscribed in the abrasive and marginal indie of the New Yorker, but never with as much force as on her album, Puberty 2, released in June 2016. “Happiness is the rise; sadness, the fall — but one can prove more destructive than the other,” she confides. “When you understand that you can’t have one without the other, you end up living your happy moments in anticipation of the next wave.” On Puberty 2, this tension is ever-present: a romantic territory that is both sublime and brutal, where one of the new major voices of the American scene reaches full artistic maturity. Green vinyl edition "Forest Shadow" on the occasion of the album's tenth anniversary.
