PHOEBE BRIDGERS - what's the deal?

i think motion sickness might be a "great" song, not just a good one. i was a bit disappointed to learn it was about ryan adams--i didn't want the narrative to be so specific--but even with that, it doesn't lose any of its impact.

it's better than great. it's brilliant, a bona fide classic, an all-timer...

"Dylan Thomas" and "Service Road" I hope show up in next year's track list.

otm, just hit replay on "Dylan Thomas." I like this album.

I'm coming around on some songs. It still really annoys me when Conor's voice comes in on the first track. The lyric is one person's story, and it doesn't really make sense for this other voice to come in with octave unison. Phoebe's double tracked voice and the guitars would have been stronger for the song. I like Conor's voice as a lead, but it's not really capable of serving another role.

really

feel like I made a deal w/ satan to make my copy of Raising Sand much cooler, but he took all of the harmonies away as payment.

'Service Road' sure is good, though

no i agree there's too much oberst on this album

So is the title Stranger In The Alps a reference to The Big Lebowski?

One would assume so, yes

Yeah, she's confirmed this in interviews.

her ep of the Song Exploder podcast is pretty cool

"Dylan Thomas" is my favorite song today; Most likely for the rest of the week.

i thought there was a boygenius thread ... no?

i don't know why i posted that. i know how to search.

so ... uh ...

Phoebe is great!

sorry all.

this version is killer

I checked out her solo LP after all the hubbub. It totally lives up to the hype. Fabulous atmosphere, impressive depth, looking forward to her next one. The Boygenius EP is great as well. The album with Conor Oberst, not so much.

I'm just not as enthused by the collaborative stuff as I am by her solo album. Have a side-projectiness to them that I find off putting.

man, Me & My Dog is an all-time jam

yeah i watch this version quite often

yeah. PB hitting that big note at the end is ... good

so good. who's doing the deep background harmonies?

damn this is excellent. at the very least keeps up her streak of one very great song per album.

boooo voodoo

hey, this is a good sign that the new album could be the one with multiple very great songs.

haha, great opening shot

so good. who's doing the deep background harmonies?

from here: https://www.stereogum.com/2074637/phoebe-bridgers-garden-song/video

I was just thinking about my hometown, and I was thinking about reoccurring nightmares I have on tour. So on “Garden Song,” my tour manager sings with me. He’s 6-foot-7. He’s a Dutch man named Jeroen. I realized he had the voice of an angel when he was singing Mitski with me in the van and he was two octaves below me, and I was like, “You sound like a Dutch Matt Berninger from the National.”

oh cool, thanks!

Great song!

Cant wait to listen to this when i get home

one great song per album, gtfoh

album length great songs per album

love the video too, very pumped

yah i love every song on Stranger at this point.

This sounds better with each listen. I’m sleep deprived and on a train at the moment so that sound of looping backwards guitars (?) is blending with everything around me and it’s beautiful.

Excellent new song, love the spooky double-tracked vocal vibe she's working with. No info on the sophomore lp?

“I’m sleep deprived and on a train” almost sounds like a lyric she would write

Phoebe Bridgers’ new album ‘Punisher’ is out June 19th!

Horns, nice! Quite looking forward to this!

Love this tune.

digging this. the arrangement reminds me of a beulah song, or something in that vein.

So nice!

this is good

Yes

she's gonna have a big year

Phoebe is the best. Cannot wait for this whole album.

Kyoto reminds me a lot of Hello Saferide. It’s good.

wow, haven't thought of hello saferide in a while!

This is cute.

the toy mic, the Head&Shoulders shampoo, the pjs - everything about that is adorable.

That rules!
