Phoebe Bridgers has released ‘Lost Boys’, the first single from her highly anticipated third album Lost Weekend. It marks her first new solo music in four years, following April 2022’s ‘Sidelines’. The propulsive track comes paired with a medieval-themed music video co-directed by Lance Oppenheim and Pablo Rochat and starring Bridgers alongside Skyler Gisondo. It’s got the kind of hook you can sing along to by the second chorus. Check it out below.
A look at the credits on ‘Lost Boys’ confirms some of Lost Weekend‘s rumoured contributors. Co-producing the song with Bridgers is a list of boys: longtime collaborators Tony Berg and Ethan Gruska, as well as – you guessed it – Jack Antonoff. Additional production comes from Alex G, who also played drums. Bridgers’ boygenius bandmates Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus provided backing vocals.
The list continues with some more usual suspects: Christian Lee Hutson on acoustic guitar, Will Maclellan on drum programming, Blake Mills on synths, Rob Moos on strings, Caroline Shaw on vocals, Sebastian Steinberg on upright bass, Chris Thile on mandolin, Marshall Vore on drums, Nate Walcott on trumpets, and Harrison Whitford on electric guitar.
Announced earlier this week, the follow-up to 2020’s Punisher is due August 14 via Dead Oceans. It was preceded by a series of US pop-up shows that culminated in a sold-out performance at New York’s Madison Square Garden. In September, Bridgers will go back on tour across the US, UK, and Europe.
