With her rich vocals and piercing lyrics, indie-rock singer and songwriter Mitski has become one of the most acclaimed acts of the 2010s. • Mitski recorded and self-released her first two albums, 2012’s Lush and 2013’s Retired from Sad, New Career in Business, as student projects while studying studio composition at Purchase College in New York. • After graduating, she briefly sang in the prog-metal band Voice Coils while working on her third album, 2014’s Bury Me at Makeout Creek. The album traded the classical-orchestral sound of her previous releases for sparser arrangements and more emphasis on guitar. • Her breakthrough came on her critically acclaimed 2016 album Puberty 2, which made the Top 20 of Billboard's Alternative Albums and Independent Albums charts. • Following the release of her fifth album, 2018’s Be the Cowboy, Mitski worked with performance artist Monica Mirabile to incorporate avant-garde Japanese choreography, known as Butoh, into her stage show. • In January 2020, Mitski released the new song “Cop Car”, from the soundtrack to the movie The Turning.
