Mitski‘s new album Be The Cowboy will be released 17 August via Dead Oceans, since announcing the album she has shared videos for ‘Geyser‘ and ‘Nobody‘ both of which have been heralded as some of her best music to date. Today, she has followed up with ‘Two Slow Dancers’, the album’s powerful, understated closer – a projection of two old lovers set in the adolescent setting of a school gymnasium as they reflect. As described by Mitski, “They used to have something together that is no longer there and they’re trying to relive it in a dance, knowing that they’ll have to go home and go back to their lives.”
Mitski’s carefully crafted songs have often been portrayed as emotionally raw, overflowing confessionals from a fevered chosen girl, but in Be The Cowboy, Mitski introduces a persona who has been teased but never so fully present until now—a woman in control. She reveals she had in mind “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.”
While recording the album with her long-time producer Patrick Hyland, the pair kept returning to “the image of someone alone on a stage, singing solo with a single spotlight trained on them in an otherwise dark room. For most of the tracks, we didn’t layer the vocals with doubles or harmonies, to achieve that ‘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.”
Mitski returns to the UK for a string of dates including London‘s O2 Shepherds Bush Empire in September. Full dates are below.
