Mitski: 'Drunk Walk Home' SXSW 2016 | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW

  • We have the benefit of hindsight when it comes to 1950s and '60s pop music. Songs about motorcycle crashes and broken hearts sound quaint now, but the sweet harmonies and four-on-the-floor beats reflected real anxieties of teens and twentysomethings. Mitski Miyawaki - who records under her first name - makes music that looks to that era, both in style and substance. The 25-year-old Brooklyn songwriter channels the "pop" reflection of everyday trauma. This is realness, often riddled with feedback, but more often sung in quiet and determined desperation.
    This is why when she played our SXSW showcase, you could be forgiven in thinking that her songs about loss, heartbreak, aimlessness and identity carry a dark weight. Largely culling from 2014's Bury Me At Makeout Creek, Mitski's set was spare in its instrumentation, but cavernous in emotion. "Townie," the particularly doomy "I Don't Smoke" and the feedback-squealing closer "Drunk Walk Home" derailed into fuzz and wild vocal acrobatics, while "First Love" felt like a bedroom confessional.
    But Mitski also performed two songs from the forthcoming Puberty 2, a record that opens up her sonic and lyrical palette. "Once More to See You," getting a first taste here, is like something out of a cloudy dream, with a space between guitar notes that's deliberate, yet disorienting. Mitski lets her voice breathe through the pauses like a lounge singer left alone in a velvet room. When she spoke with NPR about "Your Best American Girl," she said, "I am half Japanese, and it came from wanting to just fit into this very American person's life and simply not being able to." In Austin, it's a scorcher, riddled with sludgy distortion and crashing cymbals as if someone set off fireworks just above the stage. -- LARS GOTRICH

    I will retire to the salton sea
    At the age of 23
    For I'm starting to learn I may never be free
    But though I may never be free
    Fuck you and your money
    I'm tired of your money
    And I sit on the curb 'cause it's the prettiest night
    With no one else in sight
    You know I wore this dress for you
    These killer heels for you
    See the dark it moves
    With every breath of the breeze
