Phoebe Bridgers: Lost Weekend

“Lost Weekend” is Phoebe Bridgers’ first album since her 2020 predecessor “Punisher,” which received multiple GRAMMY nominations. Her acclaimed debut, “Stranger in the Alps,” released shortly after her 23rd birthday, already made it clear just how extraordinary a songwriter Bridgers is. With “Punisher,” she impressively lived up to that promise: The album was widely celebrated for its clever, haunting, and at the same time captivating compositions, and it definitively established her as one of the most influential voices of her generation. Anyone listening to “Lost Weekend” now, however, will find that Bridgers takes it a step further. On the new album, she presents herself at the pinnacle of her artistic career to date. With remarkable precision, she refines the themes that have distinguished her previous works while simultaneously expanding her sound to include numerous surprising facets. The result is an album that feels familiar yet continually breaks new ground.
