What does Be The Cowboy mean? To our guest Karen K. Tran, it means embodying the confident spirit of a man and owning a room. Rebuking stereotypes and fetishism.
Mitski's Grammy-nominated album was Pitchfork's top album of 2018. Her music is emotion driven and cinematic, informed by her mixed-race identity. This album in particular features upbeat pop-inspired songs with lyrics of desire and loneliness.
Karen tells us about her experience photographing Mitski, post-pandemic concert crowds and toxic artist-listener relationships in this lush episode!
