On this review I will be reviewing the new album from 'Mitski' which was released on the 17th August 2018. It's the fifth studio album by Mitski called "Be The Cowboy".
Mitski is a Japanese American singer, songwriter and musician. She grew up surrounded by her father's Smithsonian folk recordings and her mother's 1970s Japanese Pop cds. Mitski grew up in New York City. She was born in Japan to an American father and a Japanese mother. Since Mitski growing up she has lived in thirteen countries including Turkey, China, Malaysia, and the Democratic Of Congo. Before eventually moving to New York City. Since she enrolled at 'Hunter College' to study film Mitski. In December 2015 she was signed to Dead Oceans record label where she released two albums from that label. "Puberty 2" and "Be The Cowboy". I know Mitski a little bit but I do not know her that well. Discussing about her discography she has released five studio albums. Her debut album "Lush" which was released as an independent album which was self-released. Her second album "Retired From Sad, New Career In Business" her second album which was also self-released. Her third album "Bury Me At Makeout Creek" which was released in her first record label 'Double Double Whammy'. Which is the first album I heard from Mitski I have not heard her first two. It's a decent third album. Her fourth studio album "Puberty 2" another good album it's okay. Which now brings us to her new album "Be The Cowboy" after hearing her new album what did I think of it? Well I thought it was another good album from Mitski she does not disappoint. She delivers an interesting smooth Indie Pop with relaxed piano elements. She reminds me of Lana Del Rey but more Indie Pop.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album starting with "Geyser" I really like this indie rock track she delivers it very well with her beautiful vocals. "Old Friend" a decent track great production, beautiful smooth indie pop vocals that makes you want to relax. "Me And My Husband" I really love the guitar and piano on this track it's catchy probably my second favourite overall. "Nobody" my overall favourite on the album defintley her strong track on the album. "A Horse Named Cold Air" one of the short tracks on the album which I liked lyrics interesting. "Two Slow Dancers" beautiful track beautiful piano melodys really beautiful. My least favourite track is "Pink In The Night" it's a decent track but not my favourite.
Overall I thought it was a good album. Mitski delivers another good album. I would listen to it again. I am giving this album a 7/10.
