Puberty 2

Based in Brooklyn but with an unsettled background that called over a dozen countries on multiple continents home before she reached her twenties, Mitski Miyawaki makes her Dead Oceans debut with her fourth album, Puberty 2.

The album explores themes of belonging and identity through raw, confessional songwriting. Blending punk energy with intimate storytelling, Puberty 2 delivers unfiltered lyrics backed by dynamic instrumentation—catchy melodies, saxophone, and driving drums. Opening track "Happy" pairs ironic wit with groovy rhythms and poppy arrangements.
