Following on from 2016's Puberty 2, Mitski is back with her fifth full length album, Be The Cowboy. A huge dose of carefully crafted and emotionally-raw indie-rock songs.

“For this new record, I experimented in narrative and fiction,” comments Mitski. Though she hesitates to go so far as to say she created full-on characters, she reveals she had in mind “a very controlled icy repressed woman who is starting to unravel. Because women have so little power and showing emotion is seen as weakness, this ‘character’ clings to any amount of control she can get. Still, there is something very primordial in her that is trying to find a way to get out.”
