CATALOG #: DOC123 ABOUT THE ALBUM RELEASE DATE : JUNE 17, 2016 FORMAT: CD/LP/CASSETTE/DIGITAL Ask Mitski Miyawaki about happiness and she'll warn you: “Happiness fucks you.” It's a lesson that's been writ large into the New Yorker's gritty, outsider-indie for years, but never so CD BOX LOT: 30 powerfully as on her newest album, Puberty 2 . “Happiness is up, sadness is down, but one's LP BOX LOT: 20 almost more destructive than the other,” she says. “When you realize you can't have one without CASSETTE BOX LOT: 25 the other, it's possible to spend periods of happiness just waiting for that other wave.” On Puberty 2 , that tension is palpable: a both beautiful and brutal romantic hinterland, in which GENRE: ALTERNATIVE/INDIE ROCK KEY MARKETS: NEW YORK CITY, CHICAGO, one of America’s new voices hits a brave new stride.
