Mitski Facts
- Due to her father’s job, the family moved frequently when Mitski was a child and spent time living in several places such as Turkey, China, Malaysia, the Czech Republic, and the Democratic Republic of Congo before settling in the United States.
- Mitski was 18 years old when she wrote her first song on the piano.
- Reflecting on her childhood, she has stated, “Growing up, I struggled a lot with control because I felt I had none over my own life and surroundings. I was shuttled from one place to another and never felt like I belonged anywhere. I was never a part of any community. So, I think a lot of those things fueled this eternal question for me about control and power, and what it means to be powerful, and what it means to be powerless.”
- On January 31, 2012, Mitski released her debut studio album Lush. Producer Patrick Hyland described the album with the quote: “Lush was in college, like, ‘Oh, my gosh, there are studios! There are other instrumentalists!”. Moreover, the album has been described as “mournful” by Rolling Stone.
- Her 5th studio album titled Be the Cowboy was released on August 17, 2018, via Dead Oceans and its tracklist included Why Didn’t You Stop Me?, A Pearl, Lonesome Love, Geyser, Old Friend, Remember My Name, Nobody, Blue Light, Come into the Water, Washing Machine Heart, and Two Slow Dancers. The album peaked at #3 on the US Independent Albums (Billboard) chart, at #6 on the US Top Alternative Albums (Billboard) chart, at #7 on the US Top Rock Albums (Billboard) chart, at #9 on the UK Independent Albums (OCC) chart, and at #52 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Also, it was certified ‘Gold in the United States and ‘Silver’ in the United Kingdom.
- Mitski released her 6th studio album Laurel Hell on February 4, 2022, through Dead Oceans. It peaked at #1 on the US Top Rock Albums (Billboard) chart and US Top Alternative Albums (Billboard) chart.
