Suddenly realizing how dark the lyrics to "Televangelist" are. That "insect pinned to styrofoam" line just hit me. Holy crap.
The demo reminds me of the song sprained ankle before the riff starts so maybe that's why. Or maybe she couldn't think of a way to beef it up arrangement wise to fit in stylistically with the rest
Throwback to just under 2 years ago when I saw her perform at a culture and arts center to a room of captivated people. I'm ready for tomorrow to bring on the feels.
As people are sharing their old show stories, I got to attend the Sofar Amnesty International secret show in Chicago in September and it still remains the best show I have ever (and probably will ever) attended. About 20 people, in an apartment, request set (we got to see Red Door which was amazing). Some photos below. I also have some video if anyone is interested.
I cried. I saw Mitski a couple months ago and I'm firmly convinced she's secretly a goddess. Julien, though... I don't even know how to describe her. That might've been the best live musical performance I've ever seen. Totally surreal.
I’m not super in love with this record, it just hasn’t really connected with me yet. But I’m stoked to see her Monday. I work at 4 am the next day but I’m ready to be floored.
