Mitski made her Jimmy Kimmel Live! debut last night in support of Be the Cowboy. For the first time on television, she was joined by her full band for a stunning performance of “Nobody,” while additionally performing the more stripped-back, but equally striking “Two Slow Dancers” as a web exclusive. You can watch both performances below. Mitski’s last television appearance was an interview and solo performance on The Daily Show shortly after Be the Cowboy’s release via Dead Oceans.
Since then, her album has been named the #1 album of the year by Pitchfork, New York Magazine/Vulture, Esquire, The Line of Best Fit, Consequence of Sound, FLOOD, and more. The New York Times (Jon Pareles), NPR Music and SPIN placed the album at #2 on their best of 2018 lists, and it landed at #3 on TIME’s list. Others placing it in the top 15 include Entertainment Weekly, Paste, PAPER, NME, The Guardian, The A.V. Club, Stereogum, Rolling Stone, and Billboard. This is merely just a taste of all the year-end love Be the Cowboy has received. See the aggregated list here.
Following a completely sold out fall North American tour, Mitski is on her way to quickly selling out her just-announced spring 2019 tour. This tour consists entirely of cities not yet visited in support of Be the Cowboy. Tickets are on sale now at https://mitski.com/.
