Phoebe Bridgers - Stranger In The Alps

L.A. singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers' 2017 debut album on vinyl!

A collection of songs about intimacy, relationships and interactions with others

Phoebe Bridgers' career has been propelled by fellow musicians. Ryan Adams, Conor Oberst, and Julien Baker have all sung the praises of the 23-year-old Los Angeles indie folk singer-songwriter, leading up to her 2017 full-length debut Stranger in the Alps.

AllMusic calls Stranger in the Alps "a candid, wry, death-obsessed and altogether transfixing collection of ruminative indie-folk confections that invoke names such as Elliott Smith, Jenny Lewis, Laura Marling, Julien Baker, and Lisa Germano.

"Bridgers is an old soul, but one with a flair for capturing the myopic melodrama of youth. Her keen eye for detail and dulcet voice make for a lethal pairing, delivering lines like 'I hope you kiss my rotten head and pull the plug/know that I've burned every playlist and given all my love' with alarming sweetness. Front-loaded with a trio of deceptively powerful singles ('Smoke Signals,' 'Motion Sickness,' and 'Funeral'), the 10-track set loses some focus near the end, but Bridgers remains such a compelling presence throughout, that even her less immediate material bears weight."
