Mitski puts Puberty 2 back in rotation

Official visual: Puberty 2 (10th Anniversary Edition) cover art, sourced from Dead Oceans.

Mitski's Puberty 2 just got a 10-year reset: Dead Oceans says the anniversary edition is out digitally now, with a limited Forest Shadow colored vinyl run due October 30. 1

The fresh add-ons are two covers: One Direction's "Fireproof" and Frank Sinatra's "I'm a Fool to Want You." Dead Oceans also notes new lyric videos for "I Bet on Losing Dogs," "Once More to See You," and "Your Best American Girl," with translations in Spanish, Portuguese, and Filipino. 1

Why it fits the feed: Mitski is a Japanese American indie singer-songwriter who has spoken directly about being Asian American and feeling like "an other in America." 2

Quick take: not a new album cycle, but a useful re-entry point for one of the records that made Mitski's indie-rock language travel far beyond 2016.
