Mitski Puberty 2 (10th Anniversary, Green)

Ask Mitski Miyawaki about happiness and she'll warnyou: "Happiness fucks you." It's a lesson that's been writ largeinto her gritty, outsider songwriting for years, but never sopowerfully as on her 2016 album, Puberty 2. "Happiness is up, sadness is down, but one's almost more destructive than theother, " she says. "When you realize you can't have one withoutthe other, it's possible to spend periods of happiness justwaiting for that other wave." On Puberty 2, that tension ispalpable: a beautiful and brutal romantic hinterland, in whichone of modern music's defining voices came fully into focus.2026 marks the ten-year anniversary of that landmarkalbum, whose tracklist contains fan favorites "Your BestAmerican Girl" and "I Bet on Losing Dogs."

Puberty 2 will also be celebrated with a digitaldeluxe version, featuring bonus tracks from the originalJapanese CD - longtime fan favorite covers of "Fireproof" byOne Direction and "I'm a Fool to Want You" by Frank Sinatra.
