Puberty 2, Mitski‘s fourth album and follow-up to 2014’s bury me at makeout creek, is so close we can practically taste the tears on our cheeks. Now, she has shared the accompanying video to its first single, “Your Best American Girl.”
The video, directed by Zia Anger, takes on Mitski’s usual confrontations: racial identity, the politics of love in a whitewashed music industry, and the power of self-confidence in the face of all this. Watch it below.
Allston Pudding will be presenting Mitski’s Boston show on June 22 at Brighton Music Hall. The Facebook event page can be found here, and tickets for the show can be found here, for $13. Puberty 2 will be released June 17 via Dead Oceans.
