Be The Cowboy - Mitski (LP) (Opaque Gold)
DOC150LP-C4
$64.99
Be The Cowboy is the breakthrough 2018 album from Mitski, presented here in the Opaque Gold vinyl pressing. The Rocket listing highlights the context behind the record: following the success of Puberty 2, Mitski found herself overwhelmed by constant touring and the pressure of running her own career. This emotional exhaustion shaped the album’s themes — detachment, self‑discipline, and the struggle to “wake up and get back to Mitski”.
Despite the burnout, she channelled that tension into sharp, tightly‑crafted pop songs, intentionally leaning into a more nihilistic, glossy, and concise sound. The result is one of the most acclaimed indie records of the decade — bold, theatrical, and emotionally precise.
This Opaque Gold edition is a premium collector’s variant of a modern classic.
