Ask Mitski Miyawaki about happiness and she'll warn

you: "Happiness f***s you." It's a lesson that's been writ large

into her gritty, outsider songwriting for years, but never so

powerfully as on her 2016 album, Puberty 2. "Happiness is up,

sadness is down, but one's almost more destructive than the

other, " she says. "When you realize you can't have one without

the other, it's possible to spend periods of happiness just

waiting for that other wave." On Puberty 2, that tension is

palpable: a beautiful and brutal romantic hinterland, in which

one of modern music's defining voices came fully into focus.

2026 marks the ten-year anniversary of that landmark

album, whose tracklist contains fan favorites "Your Best

American Girl" and "I Bet on Losing Dogs." To celebrate the

occasion, Mitski and Dead Oceans will release a limited-edition

reissue of Puberty 2 on Forest Shadow vinyl, due for release on

October 30, 2026. Puberty 2 will also be celebrated with a digital

deluxe version, featuring bonus tracks from the original

Japanese CD - longtime fan favorite covers of "Fireproof" by

One Direction and "I'm a Fool to Want You" by Frank Sinatra.
