Puberty 2, released in June 2016 via Dead Oceans, saw one of modern music’s defining voices hit a brave new stride and come fully into focus, existing in both a beautiful and brutal romantic hinterland. It picked up where its predecessor, 2014’s Bury Me At Makeout Creek, left off and presented the image of the same defiant, feminist figure that had previously won her acclaim. At the time of the album’s release, Pitchfork awarded the album “Best New Music” and lauded it as “a resounding personal statement and the clearest sign that while [Mitski] might be an ‘indie rock’ artist, she currently stands apart from—and above—much of the genre,” a sentiment that continues to hold strong with each subsequent release. Puberty 2 landed on numerous best of 2016 lists and has since been included in The Observer’s “Best Albums of the Century So Far” and Pitchfork’s “Best Albums of the 2010s.” “Your Best American Girl” was included in the “Top 10 Best Songs of the Past Decade” by Pitchfork, Billboard named it one of their “Songs That Defined The Decade” and NPR featured it in their “200 Greatest Songs By 21st Century Women+.” Additionally, “I Bet on Losing Dogs” has reached gold status in the US and silver status in the UK. The album, certified gold in the US and silver in the UK, has been streamed over 1.72B worldwide and sounds across the album have been used nearly 17M across social media.
