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!
