"[Mitski]'s probably the most advanced American songwriter that I know" – Iggy Pop

Den japansk-amerikanske singer-songwriteren Mitski avslørte i mai at hun skal slippe sitt nye , "Be The Cowboy", 17. august via Dead Oceans. Første smakebit fra albumet var åpningssporet "Geyser", og i dag følger hun opp med den nye singelen "Nobody". "Nobody" slippes med en fargerik, surrealistisk musikkvideo regissert av Christopher Good, som forteller:

"We shot this video over five days, in both sides of Kansas City. I've never been able to take this much time to shoot a video, so it was wonderful to have the space to get the details right, as well as actually hang out and have fun with everyone involved. This video made me fall unexpectedly in love with Kansas City."

"Be The Cowboy" blir oppfølgeren til Mitskis kritikerroste album "" fra 2016. Musikken hennes har tidligere blitt fremstilt som åpenhjertige og følelsesladede tilståelser fra en jente med hjertet i hånda, men på "Be The Cowboy" introduserer hun lytterne for en ny persona, en kvinne som har kontroll. Hun forteller at hun har sett for seg "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."

Albumet ble spilt inn sammen med hennes faste produsent Patrick Hyland. Mitski og Hyland vendte stadig tilbake til "the image of someone alone on a stage, singing solo with a single spotlight trained on them in an otherwise dark room", forteller de. "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. We also made the music swell louder than the main vocals and left in vocal errors like when my voice breaks in 'Nobody', right when the band goes quiet, all for a similar effect."

Mitskis femte album "Be The Cowboy" slippes 17. august 2018 via Dead Oceans / Playground Music Scandinavia. Albumet kan forhåndsbestilles eller forhåndslagres i Spotify og Apple Music HER.
