I was feeling really nihilistic and trying to make pop songs.” Lead single “Geyser” finds \u003cstrong\u003eMitski\u003c\/strong\u003e’s porcelain-like vocals and uplifting piano vamps fighting against a bed of electronic glitches and brooding synth strings, before all the uncertainty and vulnerability is swept away by an enormous crescendo of drums and guitars announcing \u003cstrong\u003eMitski\u003c\/strong\u003e as indie’s new vanguard. The rest of the LP finds her charismatic balladry coupled with dense piano, guitar and drum arrangements, accentuated with electronic textures courtesy of longtime co-producer \u003cstrong\u003ePatrick Hyland\u003c\/strong\u003e. Speaking on the album title, \u003cstrong\u003eMitski\u003c\/strong\u003e explains: “With a lot of the romantic infatuations I've had, when I look back, I wonder, did I want them or did I want to be them? Did I love them or did I want to absorb whatever power they had? I decided I could just be my own cowboy figure that I so desire.” Be the cowboy you want to see in the world.
