LOS ANGELES, May 16 — Japanese-American indie artist Mitski has previewed an upcoming LP with the brand-new single and video Geyser.
The singer-songwriter’s forthcoming album is titled Be the Cowboy and is set for release on August 17.
“For this new record, I experimented in narrative and fiction,” says the artist in an announcement from her label, Dead Oceans; in particular, the artist had in mind “a very controlled icy repressed woman who is starting to unravel.”
The lead single, Geyser, is accompanied by a video directed by Zia Anger.
The full track listing for Be the Cowboy follows:
1. Geyser
2. Why Didn’t You Stop Me
3. Old Friend
4. A Pearl
5. Lonesome Love
6. Remember My Name
7. Me And My Husband
8. Come Into the Water
9. Nobody
10. Pink in the Night
11. A Horse Named Cold Air
12. Washing Machine Heart
13. Blue Light
14. Two Slow Dancers
While the LP will be Mitski’s fifth, it follows on directly from what is arguably her breakout LP, Puberty 2, which released in 2016. Following that album’s release, Lorde invited the rocker to open on her recent North American tour alongside Run the Jewels.
Mitski is soon set to head out on a tour of her own, beginning with series of dates around the US in June before visiting the UK and Europe in September, with shows scheduled in London, Paris, Berlin, Manchester and elsewhere. Find details at mitski.com. — AFP-Relaxnews
