The indie-rocker returns with her first solo album in six years, with songs detailing love and loss.

Phoebe Bridgers‘ last album, Punisher, arrived in June 2020, in the early, uncertain days of COVID-19. Though it was written prior to the pandemic, the album became a perfect lockdown summer soundtrack: Sardonic, reflective and restless, it unintentionally captured the mood of the time, particularly with a scream into the void on closer “I Know the End.”
Bridgers couldn’t tour Punisher upon its release, so instead she hosted a handful of livestreams from her apartment for what she dubbed her World Tour in 2020. As restrictions lifted in 2021, she more than made up for lost time with the Reunion Tour, which kicked off in September 2021 and ended in April 2023, just in time to start up a tour with boygenius — her supergroup with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus — that went into 2024 and, on her own, join Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour for a dozen dates.
