For four albums now, Mitski Miyawaki has been swimming in the waves of an American indie rock with electro-pop influences. The fifth, Be The Cowboy , is a subtle collection of 14 original compositions, each one rarely exceeding two and a half minutes, but long enough to reflect Mitski's vision of multiple loves. With evocative descriptions of various encounters, overflowing with philosophical images, there’s an almost cinematographic dimension to Be The Cowboy . Mainly gifted for her piano compositions, she tells here several elegant stories, plays with synth variations, mixes the big and the small, sorrows and joys. In short, Mitski is a sculptor of moods and sensations. She slips between earthy pop rock ( Washing Machine Heart ) and melancholic piano ballads ( A Horse Named Cold Air ), always delivering catchy and pleasant choruses (like on Nobody ). Surprising and innovative. © Anna Coluthe/Qobuz. Be the Cowboy. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs. Buy the album Starting at £7.19.

Lyrically, the use of characters and metaphors to convey feelings is expanded on significantly from Puberty 2; Mitski has expressed frustration several times over the way that people assume (especially of female songwriters) that songwriting "pours out", rather than being a learnt skill. Linked to this, Mitski experimented in the use of narrative on Be the Cowboy- though full characters are not described through songs, Mitski has outlined the idea of: “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.” [3] Be the Cowboy was written partially while on tour as well as after touring for Puberty 2 had finished (being recorded “little by little in multiple studios between tours”), [4] and as such Mitski saw the album as a process of reconnecting with herself emotionally: "A lot of this record was me not having any feelings, being completely spent but then trying to rally myself and wake up and get back to Mitski." [5] A strong artistic theme throughout the album is yearning for what cannot be had either because it no longer exists or never existed- notably, in Nobody and Washing Machine Heart, by making reference to movies (the music video of the latter featuring the character of a "Silent Film Star"). What is desired is represented by the highly glamourised fiction seen in films; Mitski has often talked about the strong influence films had on her early life. Contents.

    MOAB IS MY WASHPOT Stephen Fry For You The Book of D., Verse 10, Chapter 11 To live is to war with trolls in heart and soul. To write is to sit in judgement on oneself. Henrik Ibsen The interests of a writer and the interests of his readers are never the same and if, on occasion, they happen to coincide, this is a lucky accident. W. H. Auden MOAB IS MY WASHPOT Joining In ‘Look Marguerite... England!’ Closing lines of The Scarlet Pimpernel, 1934 1 FOR SOME REASON I recall it as just me and Bunce. No one else in the compartment at all. Just me, eight years and a month old, and this inexpressibly small dab of misery who told me in one hot, husky breath that his name was Samuelanthonyfarlowebunce. I remember why we were alone now. My mother had dropped us off early at Paddington Station. My second term. The train to Stroud had a whole carriage reserved for us. Usually by the time my mother, brother and I had arrived on the platform there would have been a great bobbing of boaters dipping careless farewells into a sea of entirely unacceptable maternal hats. Amongst the first to arrive this time, my brother had found a compartment where an older boy already sat amongst his opened tuck-box, ready to show off his pencil cases and conker skewers while I had moved respectfully forward to leave them to it. I was still only a term old after all. Besides, I wasn’t entirely sure what a conker skewer might be.

  • May 18, 2016 Mitski Shares New Single, “Happy”
    May 3, 2016 For Immediate Release Mitski Shares New Single, “Happy”; https://soundcloud.com/deadoceans/mitski-happy/s-CwgMv Puberty 2 Out June 17th on Dead Oceans “Even as the song swells towards severity, Mitski’s delicate voice stays intact at the front of the mix, like a shelter amid total chaos. Mitski may have dubbed her latest Puberty 2, but by the sounds of ‘Your Best American Girl,’ she’s making mature choices, both musically and personally.” — Pitchfork [Best New Track] “No one else can make shattering sound like such an act of strength.” — Stereogum [#1 Best Song of the Week] Having previously announced her gutsy and gorgeous new album Puberty 2, out June 17th via Dead Oceans, with the tremendously received “Your Best American Girl,” Mitski (aka 25-year old Mitski Miyawaki) has shared another stunning song entitled “Happy.” It’s Puberty 2’s biting opening track, a song that quickly escalates from intricate electronic pads to rumbling drums and a rare use of horns. As described by Mitski, "Happiness f**ks you. Once it's in your hands you try to hold onto it, but the nature of happiness is that it passes through and eventually leaves, and something else - sadness, anger, a low after the high - has to follow. This song is about this exhaustive and exhausting cycle, and how sometimes one would rather not have any of it at all than be constantly thrown about by the waves of these fleeting states." After selling out her June 20th show at New York’s Bowery Ballroom months in advance and announcing a second New York show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on July 27th, Mitski has also moved her Los Angeles show, happening Thu.

  • A Carnivalesque Analysis of the Monster Child from Early Slapstick to the Nazified Children of Modern Horror
    BEWARE! CHILDREN AT PLAY: A CARNIVALESQUE ANALYSIS OF THE MONSTER CHILD FROM EARLY SLAPSTICK TO THE NAZIFIED CHILDREN OF MODERN HORROR Submitted by Craig Alan Frederick Martin, BA (Hons), MA https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8596-6482 A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2020 Faculty of Arts, School of Culture and Communication, Screen and Cultural Studies Program The University of Melbourne Abstract Monster child narratives often use a formula in which normative power relations between adults and children are temporarily inverted as the child outsmarts the adult, leading to a rupture in the social order. Where children are ordinarily subordinate to adults, this relationship is reversed as the monster child exerts dominance over their elders. Applying Mikhail Bakhtin’s carnival theory, this thesis argues that the monster child figure commonly thought of as a horror movie villain began its life on screen in early silent screen comedy. Through qualitative analysis of a range of case study films from the silent era through to the emergence of horror-themed monster child films produced in the mid- 1950s, close comparative analysis of these texts is used to support the claim that the monster children in early silent comedies and later modern horror films have a shared heritage. Such a claim warrants the question, why did the monster child migrate from comedy to horror? The contention put forward in this thesis is that during World War II dark representations of Hitler Youth in Hollywood wartime propaganda films played a significant role in the child monster trope moving from comedy to horror.

  • August 10, 2016 WATCH MITSKI's VIDEO for “HAPPY”
    May 23, 2016 For Immediate Release Watch Mitski’s “Happy” Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ0O2vDT0VE Puberty 2 Out June 17th on Dead Oceans Mitski will release Puberty 2, her fourth studio album and debut for Dead Oceans, on June 17th. The following week, she embarks on a North American tour beginning with a run of already sold out shows in New York, Boston and Philadelphia. After releasing the bold video for rapturously praised lead single, “Your Best American Girl,” Mitski now presents the meticulously crafted video for widely lauded second single, “Happy.” Directed by Maegan Houang, who came up with her own completely out of the box narrative, the “Happy” video perfectly captures Mitski’s idea of the exhausting and exhaustive cycle of the fleeting nature of happiness. “Mitski resists psychic death by constantly pushing forth into bolder textures, refusing to be meek and sedated even as joy feels compromised . every element combines to a powerful, tarnished fanfare that's neither joyful nor morose, but possessed of a strange confidence that serves as an anchor against slipping into either emotional extreme.” — Pitchfork [Best New Track] “It’s a song whose changes in tone and shape feel hard to contain, yet its message is ebb-tide: happiness comes, happiness goes.” — The New York Times [The Playlist] “Between the St. Vincent-esque vibes and pretty melodies, ‘Happy’ makes a case that sometimes disappointment isn’t so bad.” — Entertainment Weekly [A-] “But although her lyrics find only a weary sense of dejection in the endless cycle between fleeting moments of happiness and the perpetual comedown of living, the song still manages to point towards a reason to keep trudging forward: it sounds so fucking good.” — Stereogum [#1 in The 5 Best Songs of the Week] Mitski’s North American tour kicks off the week following the release of Puberty 2.
