Stream Mitski 'Your Best American Girl" from the Brooklyn artist's upcoming "Puberty 2" album that's out June 17

Brooklyn’s Mitski announced she will drop her new album Puberty 2 album on June 17. The eleven track follow-up to her 2014 Bury Me At Makeout Creek LP is already available for pre-order via Dead Oceans. Additionally, Mitsky shared upcoming tour dates and Puberty 2‘s first single, “Your Best American Girl”.

Mitski “Your Best American Girl” begins with soft vocals and a guitar line that captures the finer elements of Pinkerton-era, six string work. Mitski builds the track with a variety of nuanced layers before “Your Best American Girl” spills into a thick drop near the 1:30 mark. Mitski sings, “Your mother wouldn’t approve of how my mother raised me / but I do, I think I do. / And you’re an all-American boy / I guess I couldn’t help trying to be your best American girl.” The song allows Mitski–born in Japan–to explore her the idea of being “half Japanese, half American but not fully either.” If “Your Best American Girl” is any indication, Puberty 2 should be a gem.
