What does the album cover look like?
What is the tracklist?
A tracklist has not yet been revealed, but we do know the record includes 17 tracks.
Have any singles been released?
The first single, ‘Lost Boys’, arrived on June 25, alongside a Renaissance-themed video starring Bridgers as an elf surrounded by knights. Exactly one month before the release of the album, Bridgers made a surprise appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing the track alongside a group of young musicians.
How long has it been since Phoebe Bridgers’ last album?
It’s been six years since Bridgers released Punisher, her sophomore album. In the couple of years that followed, she appeared on tracks by Taylor Swift, SZA, the Killers, the National, and MUNA, among others, and contributed to the Jack Antonoff-curated soundtrack for Minions: The Rise of Gru. 2023 saw the reunion of boygenius and the release of the group’s debut album, the record, which they toured throughout the year before going on hiatus in February 2024.
When did Phoebe Bridgers return to the spotlight?
On May 7, 2026, Bridgers announced she would be playing a show in Roswell, New Mexico, the following day. Flyers promoting the show indicated no recording devices would be allowed inside during the concert. The same was true for a subsequent show in Lubbock, Texas, announced on May 9 for the same night. Accompanying Bridgers onstage was frequent collaborator Christian Lee Hutson, who played guitar, harmonica, and percussion.
What did Phoebe Bridgers perform at the surprise shows?
Bridgers debuted new music during both shows. The first show featured three new songs, and night two got four, half of which she played during the previous night. Though devices had to be locked in Yondr pouches, you can see the setlists for each night here and here.
What did the new songs sound like?
Reddit user BSismyname described the new songs as “f**king great and also very sad.” One of the new songs reportedly addressed the 2023 death of Bridgers’ father, while another might be about her relationship with Bo Burnham. Another attendee said that Bridgers “experimented with new vocal techniques,” with BSismyname noting that she was “more ‘on her voice,’” and that she sounded “less breathy and with more power.”
Did Phoebe Bridgers tease a new album during the shows?
Bridgers didn’t mention a new album during the shows, but there were some hints. Fans received a small piece of a painting in the pouches their phones were locked in, with some speculating that when combined, the fragments reveal Bridgers’ next album artwork. New merch also seemed to feature rumored lyrics from a new song: “Now I can’t see any stars in the sky/ When a dream comes true, a fantasy dies.” Alien imagery was a theme throughout the shows, which would explain why the first show took place in Roswell.
Is Phoebe Bridgers going on tour in support of the album?
Following a string of pop-up shows culminating in a sold-out performance at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Bridgers will go on tour from September through December. Special guest Alex G will support the North American shows, while former Black Country, New Road vocalist Isaac Wood is the opening act for the EU dates.
Who worked on Phoebe Bridgers’ new album?
While the full album credits have yet to be revealed, ‘Lost Boys’ features a host of notable collaborators, including Bridgers’ boygenius bandmates Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus on vocals (along with Caroline Shaw); Alex G on drums and voice memo; Jack Antonoff on electric guitar, synths, drums, and vocoder; Bright Eyes’ Nate Walcott on trumpets; Blake Mills on synths; Chris Thile on mandolin; and Christian Lee Hutson on acoustic guitar.
