Filmed live session by Mitski in the KEXP radio studio in Seattle, recorded on 8 April 2017. An American singer-songwriter, Mitski had by then emerged as one of the most distinctive voices in indie rock, notably after the album Puberty 2 (2016) and the song “Your Best American Girl”. This KEXP session, a multi-song live format known for the quality of its capture, presents her in an intimate configuration. The live concert runs through four songs: “I Bet on Losing Dogs”, “Francis Forever”, “Your Best American Girl” and “Happy”. Between pop tension and raw guitars, Mitski unfolds an intimate writing on identity, desire and displacement, carried by a restrained yet magnetic stage presence. Captured by the KEXP team (host: Morgan; audio engineer: Kevin Suggs), this filmed live performance illustrates the talent of an artist who has since become a reference of the independent scene. Year: 2017. Part of KEXP’s celebrated series of in-studio live performances, this full multi-song session can be watched online in HD.
