Be The Cowboy

Product Information

For most of the tracks, we didn't layer the vocals with doubles or harmonies, to achieve that campy 'person singing alone on stage' atmosphere. Her fresh sonic direction was a conscious effort on her part, informed by the desire to progress as an artist and the fear of the same stagnance she’s seen other artists fall into when they get too comfortable.

Rather than avoiding this dilemma, Mitski addresses directly the power that comes from appearing impenetrable and loneliness that follows. However, the often overlooked aspect of being a rising star is the sheer amount of work that goes into it.

Adopting fictional personas for 'Be The Cowboy', Mitski moves away from the candid soul baring and biting introspection of 'Puberty 2'; the end result being a triumph of an album bristling with pop sensibility.Be The Cowboy," Mitski delves into the loneliness of being a symbol and the loneliness of being someone, and how it can feel so much like being no one. Japanese-American indie-rocker Mitski was once a cult favourite, but in recent times her audience has grown exponentially, helped by the critical praise heaped on her fourth album, 2016's Puberty 2. The less glamorous, often overlooked aspect of being a rising star is the sheer amount of work that goes into it.
