Mitski: “I’m Your Man”

See this content in the original post

Major dog and cicada samples at work. You’ll have to ride the Mitski express until about the 2-minute mark to hear the wildlife ramp up. Before then our highlighted track “I’m Your Man” is a quiet acoustic strummer. The introduction of the samples takes the song to a strange place. Ostensibly, these are sonic elements that you’d hear in a cozy neighborhood on a sleepy summer night. But the levels on samples run just a bit too high, the cicadas a bit too relentless, the dog a bit too aggro (and maybe bit, or biting, at a certain point?) to maintain a tranquil mood. If this song is about a relationship, the relationship did not end well.

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
