Watch the Brooklyn based singer-songwriter Mitski perform a track from the “Bury Me at Makeout Creek” album the  highlight “Francis Forever” in Brooklyn, NY.

Mitski newest album, Bury Me at Makeout Creek, feels like a simultaneous kiss on the cheek and punch in the gut. Brimming with fuzzy guitars and an aggressive rawness, the songs are finished with her deceptively sweet vocals, creating the perfect juxtaposition of strength and delicacy.

Her lyrics always feel very genuine, a fact that drew me in initially, but they’re presented using catchy melodies that make repeat listening that much easier. Though I’ve never seen her live, I can’t imagine that anyone with that much panache could bring anything less than total magic to the stage. Be sure to catch her down in Austin at the SXSW, and take a listen to “Bury Me at Makeout Creek” album  before you do!

23-year-old Brooklyn newcomer Mitski Miyawaki releases her new album ‘Bury Me At Make Out Creek’ on November 11, an album that doesn’t flinch once detailing the brutalities of love and the fringes of insanity it pushes us towards. “One word from you and I would jump off this ledge, baby,” she pledges sternly over melancholy keyboards on woozy, last-dance-at-prom slow grind ‘First Love / Late Spring’, after yearning for “A love that falls as fast as a body from a balcony’ over noise-pop guitars on ‘Townie’. With fuzzy echoes of ‘Myra Lee’ era Cat Power, it’s a record that doesn’t tug at your heart-strings as much as it mercilessly pounds at them,
‘I Will’ is one of the album’s sweeter moments: Mitski pleading a lover “stay with me” over a slurring bass line and washy keyboards that bubble over into epic, stadium-sized synth-pop granduer as the song climaxes. .
