Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher (June 19, 2020) Album • Page 63

This is my only thought. And yes, it will be high.

 

Current AOTY. Don’t really see it moving much.

 

can’t see anything dethroning this for me

 

it's third rn for me

 

Listen to Gordi this Friday. Her album is a lovely companion to this, for me at least

 

im so excited for her album.

 

Currently my number 2 but ngl once I spend an autumn with this thing it’s likely game over

 

Didn’t know this existed... damn..

 

i just keep playing Graceland Too over and over again.

 

My record tracking just said “has been delivered to an agent for final delivery in CHICAGO, IL.” I’ve never seen this, any one ever experience this?

 

usually means it was delivered to a mailroom - example: university dorms or high-rises.

 

That’s what I saw when I googled it but that’s not possible - I live in a single family home.

 

the most powerful collab I can imagine. Dylan spitting "Subterranean Homesick Blues" level bars on an El-P beat. I want it

 

Stayed out of this thread when it leaked and then was too busy over the weekend to listen more than once but yeah this thing is incredible, and it’s going to take a miracle (AKA a Julien Baker album) to beat it out for my AOTY. There’s nothing I can really say about it right now that hasn’t already been said. I Know The End is the best song ever.

 

I know the end is truly incredible.

 

If y'all are lookg for another beautifully sad album to cry your eyes out to, I suggest checking out the new Mike Kinsella/Owen record "The Avalanche", which also dropped this past Friday.

 

It shows tremendous faith in your audience to have your earth-shattering, epic closing track pivot on a lyrical callback to the central metaphor in "Moon Song", fully half the tracklist prior.

What a fucking song and what a writer.

 

It's his best yet IMO. I've been playing this and that album back to back.. over and over and over

 

Actually I end up playing this 2-3 times in a row before I can move on to something else.

 

Yesterday I kept going back and forth between this and the new Perfume Genius (my current AOTY).

 

2-5 on my list are all pretty close(Worriers, CRJ, Katie Malco, Kamaiyah) but this is quite easily my #1

 

Waxahatchee/Perfume Genius/Phoebe/Fiona/Porridge Radio in some order. But I’m pretty sure it’s between Katie and Phoebe right now.

 

Katie Pruitt still standing strong as my album of the year, followed by Isbell. This is probably third at the moment.

 

It's been mentioned of course, but why not ;D and most of these are pretty prominent, I mean, recognizable performances from Conor, Julien and Lucy, but the rest is also really interesting and obviously that's quite an exciting list. There's also Jenny Lee from Warpaint or Tomberlin! Who I can't really decipher out there, but still cool they were involved!

What's more, while we're on the connection of this thread's mutual agreement for BE vibes etc., I think I'd assign some huge credit to string arrangement on the album as well. Getting back to Rob Moose for example, who had played with Phoebe before - I've checked just now and he's also played on a lot of awesome records; Bon Iver, The National, and well, Sufjan Stevens (and that I think a few people mentioned too, for the album to sound like Sufjan at times).

 

Damn you guys calling out stuff I haven't listened to yet, keep it coming
