Be the Cowboy, and on Friday she shared a song from it titled “The Baddy Man.”

“It was exciting to make a soundtrack for a comic book,” Mitski tells
Rolling Stone. “It allowed me to work outside of my usual songwriting form and try to approach it like a score, but without any of the cues that come with working alongside a moving image, which ended up being both freeing and challenging. I hope the end result helps to immerse you in the story!”
