The Fat Angel Sings

Mitski Miyawaki knows how to balance fragility with aggression. “Bury Me At Makeout Creek” is emotionally draining; sometimes it pummels so unrelentingly you can’t breathe, and other times it whispers and looks away shyly. Though Bury Me At Makeout Creek is Mitski’s third LP, it’s her first since learning to play guitar (the other two are heavily orchestral), which means it translates better into the grimy basement world. it’s an album that nestles itself in your chest cavity and then starts to expand, crushing all your other organs. I know that doesn’t sound very nice, but it is. “First Love/Late Spring” is such a good song I want to cry every time I hear it, even if I felt really good when I started listening to it. And that means something.
