Mitski is a very simplistic indie rock artist, with gracefully honest lyrics that capture the teenage/young adult idyllic experience. Heartbreaking lyrics ("if your hands need to break more than trinkets in your room/you can lean on my arm/as you break my heart") will pull you in, as lines that remind you of fleeting moments encourage you to stay ("and I don't wanna go home yet/let me walk to the top of the big night sky"). Her sound feels safe, making you feel as if you're with a good friend and that it's OK to cry. In a strange way it also feels very much like a subdued, chilling version of the Vivian Girls; yet despite this "chill" it heavily reminds me of seemingly endless spring and summer nights, where school and winter are still far off thoughts.
I'm unabashed of how much comfort I've found in this album.
