Candid, concise, and dynamic, Phoebe Bridgers’s Punisher is a magical work. It’s been a joy to see her evolve. She’s always been a brilliant lyricist with a beautiful voice. But her music itself is a progression in this work from that of her debut LP. Punisher feels like a blend of Sufjan Stevens, Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, Frank Ocean, and Elliott Smith. Clocking in at 40 minutes long, it is intimate. It is cathartic. She sounds less like a young, energetic, rebellious artist now and more like an older, wiser one who’s been through a lot. Likewise, her music is more textured. After hearing Boygenius, I thought she’d stick with an organic, guitar-heavy sound. But Punisher is ethereal and dreamlike. It is so sonically multi-faceted at times. At other times, it is chill and minimalistic. It is full of surprises. And its flow is such that you can listen to every minute and enjoy it. But you can also put it on, do other things, and listen passively as sounds drift by. The marriage between folk, pop, and even ambient is clear. Bridgers balances them well. She is an extremely promising talent. She has a beautiful, quirky soul. She’s been through some hard stuff. And she deserves the world. To me, this is the best album of the year. *Check out the songs below with a clear mind and nice headphones when you can. If that’s not enough, check out “Moon Song,” “Punisher,” and “Savior Complex.” So brilliant.*

Yes!!! Love those 4 Grammy nominations. Really hope she wins best new artist, as well as best rock song + best alternative album.

Pretty funny though that she’s considered a “new artist” as somebody who’s been on the alternative/indie radar for like 3.5 years haha.
