Ask Mitski Miyawaki about happiness and she’ll warn you: Happiness fucks 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 musics 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 Im a Fool to Want You by Frank Sinatra.
