Puberty 2 (10th Anniversary Edition)

About this item

Mitski 'Puberty 2' reissued on Forest Shade Vinyl for its 10th anniversary. Does not contain digital deluxe bonus tracks. Ask Mitski Miyawaki about happiness and she'll warn you: “Happiness fucks you.” It's a lesson that's been writ large into her gritty, outsider songwriting for years, but never so powerfully as on her 2016 album, Puberty 2. “Happiness is up, sadness is down, but one's almost more destructive than the other,” she says. “When you realize you can't have one without the other, it's possible to spend periods of happiness just waiting for that other wave.” On Puberty 2, that tension is palpable: a beautiful and brutal romantic hinterland, in which one of modern music’s defining voices came fully into focus. 2026 marks the ten-year anniversary of that landmark album, whose tracklist contains fan favorites “Your Best American Girl” and “I Bet on Losing Dogs.” To celebrate the occasion, Mitski and Dead Oceans will release a limited-edition reissue of Puberty 2 on Forest Shadow vinyl, due for release on October 30, 2026.
