"Singer-songwriter Mitski Miyawaki's breakthrough LP bubbles with poignant black humor. Bury Me at Makeout Creek is a folk record at its core, edged with heavy riffs that at various times recall Black Sabbath and even Liz Phair. "I will retire to the Salton Sea / At the age of 23 / For I'm starting to learn I may never be free," she confesses in "Drunk Walk Home," before screaming into a void of distorted guitars. But it's Mitski's talent for penning deep-cutting lyrics that makes this album soar: "If your hands need to break more than trinkets in your room / You can lean on my arm as you break my heart." Mitski's third LP is a vulnerable, anti-authority soft riot."
