Retired from Sad, New Career in Business is the second studio album by Japanese-American musician Mitski. Mitski self-released the project on August 1, 2013 while still a student at SUNY Purchase. The album was her senior project and featured a 60-piece student orchestra.[2] Every song on the album was accompanied by a music video, with each video playing a part in an ongoing story.[3] In the summer of 2020, album track "Strawberry Blond" gained a resurgence in popularity on the social media app TikTok, specifically in the cottagecore community.[4]

Critical reception


Retired from Sad, New Career in Business received praise for its blend of "out-of-the-norm orchestral sounds with electronics and 'found' sounds".[3] In a career retrospective following her 2018 studio album Be the Cowboy, Jesse Herb of Atwood Magazine said that the album "completely highlights Mitski’s writing growth in just one year, and also her impeccable composition" and that the album "could be in an off-broadway musical." Herb singled out "Shame", "Circle", and "Strawberry Blond" in particular, saying that the latter "feels like a lost Dar Williams record".[5]
