Be the Cowboy is the fifth studio album by American indie rock musician Mitski, released on August 17, 2018, through Dead Oceans. Produced by longtime collaborator Patrick Hyland, the album widens Mitski's palette with a return to the piano featured on her first two records alongside synthesizers, horns and the guitar that became her signature instrument. Upon its release, Be the Cowboy received widespread acclaim from music critics, who later ranked it among the best albums of 2018. It was preceded by the singles "Geyser", "Nobody", and "Two Slow Dancers". Be the Cowboy was Mitski's first album to chart on the Billboard 200, and also entered the charts in Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.

sh*ttttt what a classic :jonny4: I remember someone once describing it as a theme park of genres/stylings which is miraculously cohesive, and that rings soooo true

Geyser is an all-timer, A Pearl and Lonesome Love are both obvious indie classics, Nobody and Washing Machine Heart are big ol HITS! this album solidified Mitski as someone who could channel The Beatles at their melodic best and transform every song into pure indie gold. and yes I know that’s a wild statement in a way but it’s the comparison that makes the most sense to me lol

 

I hope that her new album has some killer melodies in it as well! Laurel Hell had a few but Puberty 2 and Be the Cowboy currently rank supreme in terms of indie rock perfection tbh :clap3:
