Review

Mitski's third studio album, "Bury Me at Makeout Creek," launched into the indie rock scene in 2014 with a compelling mix of raw energy and heart-wrenching lyrics. With Patrick Hyland at the production helm, the album pulses with grungy undertones reminiscent of 90s indie rock, creating a sound that's both nostalgic and refreshingly original.

Mitski's introspective songwriting is the heart of this 10-track treasure, where themes of love, death, and the tumult of growing up unfold through her expressive and emotive voice. Standout tracks like "Townie" and "First Love / Late Spring" spotlight her knack for crafting melodies that linger long after the music stops. The critical reception was glowing, with accolades from heavyweights like Pitchfork, Consequence of Sound, and Rolling Stone. "Bury Me at Makeout Creek" is a testament to Mitski's ability to create music that's profoundly personal yet widely relatable. - Stephanie
