Phoebe Bridgers

Idioma disponible: inglés

A Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter with a dreamy and hook-filled indie pop heart, Phoebe Bridgers' witty lyrical perspectives, sadly beautiful songs, and commanding melodies quickly jettisoned her to worldwide acclaim. Bridgers emerged out of nowhere in 2015, and in the space of just a few years was collaborating with veterans like Conor Oberst and peers like Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker as millions of fans connected with her work. In addition to her high-profile collaborations, Bridgers' solo albums drew significant praise and attention, with a solid debut giving way to darker tones on 2020's Punisher. Bridgers was born in 1994 in Pasadena, California. She began playing guitar and writing songs at age 11, and by the time she was a teenager, she frequently played around L.A. while attending Los Angeles County High School for the Arts by day. Bridgers released her debut 7", "Killer," in 2015 via Ryan Adams' Pax AM label. A trio of buzzworthy singles -- "Smoke Signals," "Funeral," and "Motion Sickness" -- appeared in early 2017 in anticipation of the release of her Dead Oceans-issued debut LP, Stranger in the Alps, which arrived later that September. In 2018, Bridgers garnered even more widespread acclaim with the release of the Boygenius EP, a collaborative effort with fellow indie songwriters Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus. At this point, Bridgers was a critical darling, with her albums receiving rave reviews across the board. Song placements in movies and television, multiple appearances on NPR's popular Tiny Desk series and one-off collaborations with Fiona Apple and The National's Matt Berninger all happened in this phase of her career and in January of 2019, Bridgers and Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst surprise-released a self-titled album from their new co-led band Better Oblivion Community Center. Oberst and Bridgers had already sung together on a track from Stranger in the Alps, but the new project further explored their collaborative chemistry. The band made several television appearances and toured the U.S. and Europe shortly after the album's release. In 2020, Bridgers announced her second solo album, Punisher, was complete and would arrive later in the year. In advance of the album's release she began sharing new songs, starting with the drifty folk of "Garden Song" and following it weeks later with "Kyoto." Punisher was released in June of 2020, again on Dead Oceans.

Punisher

Phoebe Bridgers

Alternativa & Indie - Publicado el 18 de junio de 2020 | Dead Oceans

Hi-Res Premios Pitchfork: Best New Music

Phoebe Bridgers, californiana de 25 años, confirma con este segundo álbum todo lo bueno que pensábamos de ella, en una vena indie folk ultrasensible teñida de psicodelia. Punisher, el tema que da título al álbum, es un vibrante homenaje a Elliott Smith, el inmenso cantautor y figura de culto de la escena indie. En esta canción encontramos la atmósfera melancólica de los suburbios americanos, a través de las palabras de Bridgers, “When the speed kicks in, I go to the store for nothing, and walk right by the house where you lived with Snow White…” (Cuando la velocidad se dispara, voy a la tienda para nada, y paso por la casa donde viviste con Blancanieves...). Sobre Smith, Phoebe Bridgers dice: “Si me encuentro con alguien a quien no le gusta Elliott Smith, me temo que simplemente no tenemos nada de que hablar...”. El resto del álbum se mantiene en ese tono de melancolía a flor de piel. Y cuando una canción suena más alegre o al menos alegre al oído, la letra aparece aún más cargada de una tristeza contenida pero tenaz. Este es el caso de Chinese Satellite, donde Bridgers busca en la noche estrellas que no están allí, y termina mirando al cielo, sin sentir la más mínima sensación... Este álbum es un largo paseo por las calles oscuras de la noche, pero siempre hay una luz frágil. La luz de la voz de Bridgers. Una voz con la que se puede contar. © Yan Céh/Qobuz
