I felt this in my soul.

 

thats a huge fucking bummer we'll probably never get another BOCC record.

 

I'll be honest and say that I've always felt uncomfortable with some of Conor's earlier statements about meeting Phoebe that were stated before BOCC. Felt creepy.

 

holy shit hahaha

Like “The Trapeze Swinger,” “Leonard Cohen” has no chorus — just Dacus on acoustic guitar, rattling off lines both charming (“You felt like an idiot adding an hour to the drive/But it gave us more time to embarrass ourselves/Telling stories we wouldn’t tell anyone else”) and hilarious (“Leonard Cohen once said there’s a crack in everything/That’s how the light gets in/And I am not an old man having an existential crisis/In a Buddhist monastery/Writing horny poetry/But I agree”).

 

just confirms my thought that Lucy Dacus may be the best songwriter of the past decade

 

Lucy Dacus can write the shit out of a love song.

 

I really don’t want to overplay these 3 songs before the album, but also, I do.

 

I know it can easy to speculate, but I’d much rather let Phoebe’s songwriting speak for itself. The constant guessing games about who she’s dated/is dating feels like another form of objectification we could all do without.

 

All three songs are fantastic. I think just as individual songs "Emily I'm Sorry" is the one I am least blown away by, but I absolutely love how the three songs flow together and it's perfect between the other two. Bodes extremely well for the whole album. This is gonna be a tough wait...

 

David Crosby died on the same day Phoebe Bridgers made her debut on the cover of Rolling Stone for a cover story about “the supergroup we need”. I’m going to miss their beef.

 

so many hills to die on

 

ok I just listened because I was scared to earlier but Lucy absolutely freaked it on True Blue, good god

 

They must have pressed plenty of vinyl

Or everyone is just poor rn

 

Does he know Google exists?

(At least everyone in the comments is raving about how good she is and agreeing that he needs to listen)

 

I wonder how much it helps that it’s being released on a major. They may just book capacity.

 

When do we think we get tour dates?

 

This. I need something to look forward to asap.

 

Someone on the Phoebe sub said they have music videos coming out directed by Kristen Stewart, the Reddit users partner worked on the music videos

 

Absolutely. If I could only get tickets to one more show this year, it’d be for this.

Satisfied with the rest of my lineup already.

 

All of these songs rule but true blue is easily the best.

 

I said Emily I'm Sorry is my least favorite, but that is currently the one stuck in my head

 

How longs the Chevy been on cinder blocks?

 

Confirmed

 

that rules
