Jan 31, 2019 By Christopher Roberts Mitski

Mitski (full name Mitski Miyawaki) released a new album, Be the Cowboy, back in August 2018 via Dead Oceans. It was #2 on our Top 100 Albums of 2018 list. Now she has shared a video for the album’s “A Pearl.” The animated video is made up of 1,480 unique frames that were illustrated and painted and was produced in association with Spotify and Art Camp. Saad Moosajee and Art Camp directed the video, which was co-directed by Danae Gosset. The dream-like clip features a woman, as seen from behind, running and then falling. Watch it below (via Pitchfork), followed by Mitksi’s upcoming tour dates.

Previously Mitski shared a Zia Anger-directed video for Be the Cowboy‘s first single, “Geyser,” which was our #2 Song of the Week, announced some tour dates, shared a strange video for “Nobody,” and shared the audio for Be the Cowboy‘s closing track “Two Slow Dancers” (which was also one of our Songs of the Week). Be the Cowboy is the follow-up to 2016’s acclaimed Puberty 2 and was produced with longtime collaborator Patrick Hyland.
