Punishers

Phoebe Bridgers

Vinyl LP pressing of Punisher, the critically acclaimed 2020 release from Phoebe Bridgers.

Known for her introspective lyrics and hauntingly beautiful melodies, Bridgers doesn’t write conventional love songs.

Instead, she delves into the complexities of how love shapes our lives, influences our personalities, and shifts our priorities.

Punisher, her second solo album and fourth overall release, explores these themes with a mix of melancholy and subtle joy.

While many describe her music as heartbreaking, Bridgers’ lyrics go beyond pain, balancing emotional depth with moments of strange, bittersweet joy.

The album features a stellar lineup of collaborators, including Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, Conor Oberst, Christian Lee Hutson, and more.

Additional contributions come from notable artists like Nathaniel Walcott of Bright Eyes, Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Jenny Lee Lindberg of Warpaint.

Bridgers’ longtime bandmates Marshall Vore (drums), Harrison Whitford (guitar), Emily Retsas (bass), and Nick White (keys) also lend their talents, creating a cohesive and deeply atmospheric sound.

The album was mixed by Mike Mogis, who also mixed her debut Stranger in the Alps, further enhancing the record’s sonic texture. Punisher cements Bridgers’ place as one of the most insightful and poignant voices in indie music.
