Bury Me At Make Out Creek (LP)

Mitski warmly recalls a quote from sculptor El Anatsui, "Art grows out of each particular situation, and I believe that artists are better off working with whatever their environment throws up." With this nerve exposed lyrically and having dived into her new beginning, Mitski chooses her 2014 breakthrough album 'Bury Me At Makeout Creek' to explore uncharted sonic territory, trading in large string arrangements for guitar and bass.

While studying composition at SUNY Purchase's music conservatory, she previously recorded music with a full orchestra. However, as college graduation inched closer, Mitski moved away from the concert hall and into the campus's active DIY scene. Upon relocating to New York following graduation, she entered stages at Death By Audio, Silent Barn and Bed Stuy basements, entrenching her songs of love, fear, lust and brilliant clarity into entirely sympathetic ears.
