Phoebe Bridgersdoesnt write love songs as much as songs about the impact love can have on our lives, personalities, and priorities.Punisher,her fourth release and second solo album, is concerned with that subject. To say she writes about heartbreak is to undersell her blue wisdom, to say she writes about pain erases all the strange joy her music emanates. The arrival ofPunishercements Phoebe Bridgers as one of the most clever, tender and prolific songwriters of our era.

Bridgers is the rare artist with enough humor to deconstruct her own meteoric rise. Repeatedly praised by publications likeThe New Yorker,TheNew York Times,GQ,Pitchfork,The Fader,TheLos Angeles Timesand countless others, Bridgers herself is more interested in discussing topics on Twitter, deadpanning meditations on the humiliating process of being a person, she presents a sweetly funny flipside to the strikingly sad songs she writes. Fittingly,Punisheris fascinated with, and driven by, that kind of impossible tension. Whether its writing tweets or songs, Bridgerss singular talent lies in bringing fierce curiosity to slimy and painful things, interrogating them until they yield up answers that are beautiful and absurd, or faithfully reporting the reality that, sometimes, they are neither.

Bridgers pulls together a formidable crew of guests, including theJulien Baker, Lucy Dacus,Christian Lee HutsonandConor Oberstas well asNathaniel Walcott(of Bright Eyes),Nick Zinner(of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs),Jenny Lee Lindberg(of Warpaint),Blake MillsandJim Keltneras well as her longtime bandmatesMarshall Vore(drums),Harrison Whitford(guitar),Emily Retsas(bass) andNick White(keys). The album was mixed byMike Mogis, who also mixedStranger In The Alps.

On the albums epic, freewheeling closer, I Know The End, Bridgers orchestrates wails and horns, drums and electric guitar into a sumptuous doomsday swirl, culminating in her own final whispered roar. This isPunisherin a nutshell: devastating elegance punctuated by a moment of deeply campy self-awareness. (edited)
