Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher

stickyfiddle

Anyone else enjoying this since Thursday? It's basically perfect. Not "guitar hero-y" in the slightest but fantastic songwriting and just brilliantly arranged and put together.  

Easily up there with Jason Isbell for my favourite release of the year so far.

Just ordered - I really liked Stranger in the Alps.

Have you also heard the Boygenius and Better Oblivion Community Centre records? Both very excellent

No, will check those out as well.

I though you meant her off fleabag for a moment.

Will give it a listen

I need to hear this, Better Oblivion Community Centre was one of the albums of last year for me. I imagine that Ryan Adams is currently going over the lyrics with a fine-tooth comb.

I still have this, Jason Isbell's latest and a new Clem Snide LP waiting for me in my local record store. Can't imagine it being as good as her outstanding debut, but fingers crossed.

I'm still in love with this, but particularly the last 2 tracks, which both feel very "boygenius" with Daccus and Baker's vocals added. 

Properly fantastic

I listened to this when it came out and was very much like 'Meh', but I've re-listened having been reminded by it featuring in all the best of the year lists and I'm really getting into it now.

Woo!

It's my soundtrack to 2020. Not necessarily what you'd call "music for happy fun times", but it's a phenomenal record

She may just have brought her career to an early finish unfortunately 

She tweeted something very badly timed and very 6th form communist club today that I can’t imagine will go down well with her record company 

monquixote

Oh dear, what a pathetic bit of badly thought through virtue signalling.

I'm sure it will hurt her career not a bit but I've lost a great deal of respect for her.

Blueingreen

Doesn't she own her record label?  Her tweet may be very silly but I can't imagine most of her fan base will be too bothered.  I'd be astonished if there's any threat to her career but I've been wrong before.

Brize

The sort of tweet that she'll look back on with serious cringe when she's an adult. Lefties, God bless 'em.
